Hiya ME AGAIN?
right then i,ll start from the beginning.
clutch pedal started playing up last week, after doing searches on here for floppy clutch pedal i new it needed a slave and master cyl.
i decided to stick it in a garage to get fixed.
dropped it off early in morning collected late at night.
now when i got it back the bite position was right at the top, but before it started playing up the bite position was just under half way.
now the clutch is slipping. only when driving? done the handbrake test and the engine stalls right away with no slipping at all.
i measured the pedal from floor pan to the pedal, its about 190mm, took out the adjustment nut and bolt at back of the box , cleaned that up, as it wasnt touched by the mechanics,
now set the pedal mesurement to about 140mm
(read somewhere it should be about that)
now flicking through a haynes manual its showing 2 nuts and washers on the master cyl rod.
but ive got 2 thin nuts on the top of the rod and a big deep nylock nut and washer at the bottom.
is that right as the top 2 nuts where right at the top of the thread,
am i right in thinking that where the position of these nuts are determins the bite on the clutch...( or am i totaly misreading something)
before the clutch pedal started to have problems i could tow my horse trailer loaded with horses easy with no clutch problems at all.
any info would help alot....
thanks again Ian
