sticky clutch pedal - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

just got my 93 coupe on the road, has a s14 sr20 swap, has a spec stage 3 clutch and flywheel

the clutch pedal engages and disengages by only pushing the pedal down maybe an inch or so, but if you push the pedal down all the way it sticks for a second and comes up slowly.

any ideas what is causing this? i may try bleeding the slave cylinder again.

I had the same problem in my car, didn't do anything about till my clutch took a dump, took the tranny out to notice the spring retainer on my clutch fork was barely on. Might wanna look into that

replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders, feels good now

Did you have any major difficulties bleeding the clutch??? Do you have the dampner removed? I am in the process of this now. Once I get my tranny back in I have to change the slave. Hoping it does the trick. I have to pull mine up a lot too as it just sinks to the floor. Clutch doesn't slip at all tho.

yea i took that damper off a while ago, its pointless, just installed the new master and slave, pumped the piston on the slave by hand a bunch of times until no more bubbles came out of the master, need someone to watch it, then bleed it the normal way with the bleeder valve and pressing the pedal
