Technical Clutch pedal not working after clutch replacement.

[Jdazz]

Let have a recap

The clutch was working but worn out

The gearbox was taken off

The flywheel was taken off

The surface of the flywheel cleaned up with emery

A new clutch fitted but the fingers now get mashed down

The slave cylinder get smashed off

New slave fitted

The same happens with Ridex Valeo and the transmech clutches

Original AP worn out clutch refitted. The release arm is in the correct position but now the slave only has 5mm of travel before it jams instead of 15+ mm


It was working now doesn’t

I'd start by taking the flywheel off and fitting one of the new clutches on the bench.

By loosing the centre spacer and bolts. There not much it can be. On the bench it should be fairly obvious

Thank you, that is a great idea. I will do that next time I work in the car. I'm going to take a few days off it.

I can't remember if the clutch release arm has a master spline. If it does not this might be the issue. Arm to slave pushrod angle should be more than 90 degrees, going to less than 90 when pedal is down.
