Ok so i installed a clutch masters flywheel and a xtd clutch off of ebay. at first it started out great, when i hit the 500 mile break in, i stomped it and i lost about 2 inches of clutch pedal. so i adjust my pedal, well over the last 3 weeks since i adjusted the pedal has gone down even more. so today i pulled the tranny to check everything, i had them warranty me a new clutch disk thinking that might be the problem. but after i pulled it apart the clutch disk still looked new as with the flywheel and pressure plate. But also i ordred a stage 2 disk from clutchnet. i put every thing back in the car, using the same pressure plate with a new disk. well now i have even less pedal then before, im grinding going into gears. i have check the fluid and blead the lines, did not help any. only thing i can think of is that pressure plate is some how bad. anyone ran into this problem before, i hate to pull the tranny again but if thats what i have to do its what i have to do.

 

Did you align the shifter correctly?

 

the shifter is not the problem its the clutch pedal.

 

A miss aligned shifter is not going to cause the pedal to sit 2inches lower, I agree it would cause him to grind gears. However, I think his problem sounds more like either a poor master or slave cylinder, not allowing the clutch to completely disengage.

 

yeah, i was talking about the grinding. Grinding definitely can come from a misaligned shifter.

Also, how are you bleeding your clutch? List your steps and i'll see if it's wrong.

 

pump the pedal a few times, hold to the floor, loosen the bleeder valve. rinse and repeat.

 

maybe the pivot ball failed. doing some research, i hear that they are very prone to failure when installing aftermarket pressure plates. unfortunately, you would have to take everything apart again.

 

Just a thought, you might already know. Make sure you adjust the pedal height back out. The clutch pedal should sit a little higher the the brake pedal.
What happens when the clutch pedal is adjusted to low, the piston in the master cylinder won't be allowed to go back enough and draw new fluid from the reservoir. Also the push-rod, when the pedal is sitting at the top, the push-rod shouldn't be putting any force on the pedal, meaning is all the way out, so check that too. You can adjust the height back down a bit, after it's all bled.

 

Well i pulled the tranny back out and put in a new pressure plate and everything is working like normal. Yeah billy i did adjust the pedal back out and tried bleeding it. so idk what the problem was. but its great now.

 

that sucks that you had to pull the tranny out that many times.

 

did they give you a new TOB again?

 

nope one of my friends had a new jwt setup ordred so i just used his pressure plate and tob. the problem is solved but the company on ebay i ordred my stuff from says im just trying to rip them off. i said you give 12,000 12 month warranty and this stuff sucks i want my money back. they tell me know so i filed a claim against them with paypal, once i send back to them paypal is gonna refund my money themselves

 

this is why i dont get crap parts off ebay. I love ebay for some things but some of the stuff people try to sell is ridiculous.

 

glad to hear u got it worked out

 

yup yup lol now i just owe alvin 300 bucks for his jwt pressure plate. which to me just seems like a stock exedy pressure plate.
