jon.young Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Hi all, been trying to sort the clutch out, as it looses pressure and starts to grind the 3rd gear It's a brand new clutch, and now a brand new slave, flexi, an master but still not correct, The only thing I'm confused about is their is a hexaginal bit in the passenger wheel arch which is about 2inches long, where the pipe from the master joint to where the pipe goes towards the flexi, Could this be why I'm getting air/ loosing pressure? I'm running out of ideas and rapid Edited November 18, 2012 by jon.young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 If it was faulty wouldn't it be "grinding" every gear, what makes you think it loses pressure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon.young Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Just that it only grinds 3rd and as soon as I stopped trying to bleed it, it was going in an out all gears perfect then 10 mins later its grinding again, getting beond a joke now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Everything on a Zed is hard to bleed for some reason If you can pump the clutch a few times and it will change into all gears including 3rd without grinding you have air in it - if it's only third and it grinds after a few pumps it's probably the syncro - 5th usually goes first I've been told. Took me 3 days to bleed mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon.young Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 It's just so annoying, seeing good air free oil then it still ain't happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon.young Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Right I've been fidleing, and it seams with the clutch pedel in the rest position, that it sounds like its just sitting on the clutch making a wining noise and when it's depressed to about 20 mm off the floor it' fully disengages, does anyone have any ideas as said befor brand new clutch kit new slave an flexi and now a new master An I'm still non the wiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
