Hi Guys,
Mate of mine has bought a TR GLX for a measly $200 :)
But it has one problem, the clutch doesnt seem like its fully relasing, itll load up abit and move but only slowly...
Whats a quick fix so we can get home??
Cheers
Chris

try a quick bleed at the slave cyl

top up the master cyl with brake fluid

if no better

has to be a faulty part

if the clutch pedal wont return its the master cyl cups

Hi magna buff,

Only had a quick look at it before, the clutch pedal fully returns.

would you be able to write up a step by step on how to bleed the clutch?

any other ideas would be great..


Cheers

it is gravity feed system but two ways to bleed

One : on my own I use a broom stick to hold the pedal down

press the stick into the seat the other end on the pedal to keep it in place

Two with helper to hold the clutch down
while you crack open the bleeder nipple on the slave

so air is expelled and only fluid comes out
tighten the nipple
let the pedal up

then refill the master

dont let the master run dry

make sure the slave cyl rod moves in and out

if that doesnt fix it

the problem may be in the pressure plate of the clutch.

itll load up abit and move but only slowly...


Classic sign that the clutch plate is worn down to the rivets, had that happen on a TS 2.6 manual at 220,000 km.
No quick fix in that case.
