Default Carbonetics Twin Carbon Clutch Engagement problems

Hi Guys,

I had a Carbonetics Twin Carbon Clutch installed. What I noticed is that when my car gets hot the engagement point it much lower and when it's cold it is higher. Could it be my master cylinder that is problematic? I only have 14000miles on my 05 350Z. My tuner did some mod and placed a stopper below my clutch so that my clutch travel is much less. We took car for a spin and it works well.. I didnt drive it long though.. only 15km since he added the stopper. I a bit worried about the stopper cause if the engagement point is lower then I will not beable to change gears.. anyone did such a mod on their Z. Also could it be a master cylinder problem.

Regards

never heard of such a mod. I have the ats twin and my engagement point is on the upper half of the pedal swing. I haven't experienced any change in engagement point

Sounds like the fluid is getting hot. If you aren't already, try using a braided stainless clutch line with heatwrap to keep heat out. Also, I would be curious about the clutch mod that was done.

also make sure someone is bleeding it with a vacuum bleeder and the traditional way, sometimes air will just get trapped in there. they are a pain to bleed sometimes
