Clutch pedal sticking to the floor - Slave cylinder changed

[jell36]

Hi All, I think I have an issue with my clutch but I will tell you the full story.

 

When I was purchasing my Z a year ago I took it for a test drive and on the test drive the clutch pedal got stuck half way up it's travel when pulling off at a set of lights, I was pulling off with quite high rpm (around 2500) as I wanted to check the bite of the clutch and the pedal literally would not return of it's own accord until I dropped the revs right down to below 1200 rpm. The dealership looked at it and said it's fine and normal but I read on here about sticking clutch pedals and so knew how to fix it and so was still happy to buy the car.

 

A couple of weeks later I purchased a new slave cylinder form Alex and a local garage fitted it for me along with a stainless steel braided clutch line.

A couple of months after that I got Cougar store to bleed the clutch for me as I thought there was some air in the line still (pedal felt a little spongy)

 

So becaue I had changed the slave cylinder, clutch fluid and clutch fluid hose I thought all was OK but then today the same thing happened. I tried to pull off quickly and so quite high rpm (2200) and the clutch pedalstoppedhalf way on it's return and the clutch wasn't engaged and so I didn't move. It wasn't until I completely let go of the throttle and left it for a few seconds that the clutch pedal returned to it's fully engaged normal position.

 

I guess the first question is, is this normal for a Z?

nd the second is, if not, what canI do to fix it? Could it be a clutch issue i.e. the pressure plate hasn't got enough force/worn out.

 

I don't know if/when the clutch was changed.

You may have to swop out the clutch master mate, however I suspect that there may be still some air in the system and would be worth another bleed before you splash the cash on a new master.

Dam that's not good. Is there any way for me to check it is the clutch master cylinder? How long of a job do you think it is to change it Alex? And can you PM me a price for one please including delivery and I guess clutch/brake fluid (Motul Dot 4 I think) along with anything else that may be needed. Thanks

you could try changing the master cylinder, as its usually the slave or master cylinder.

Ping me over your reg. number by PM mate and I will price up for you.

 

It is around a 2 hour job and a bit fiddly up in the pedal area, but hardly rocket science.

 

Alex.
