I have an 06 track with 144k, and the tranny was replaced about 10k miles ago with paperwork to back it up. However, normal driving conditions its fine. If I redline her the clutch pedal sticks about an inch down, (not enough to engage the plates I believe) but it doesn't pop back up like it did in my 04 did.

Also, if I take it up to high rpm and try to shift quickly it'll grind like a *****. I'm not sure if this is related to the pedal sticking or not. Again this is all in the high rpm range (6-7200) normal driving isn't effected.

 

Master slave is going out... Replace it

 

Follow up : master replaced, slave replaced, fluid replaced and still sticks. I'm following the bleed procedures of pumping the clutch 10-20 times, holding and then opening the bleeder for a split second and then closing it. FSM states pressure bleeders are not to be used on these systems.

When I let the fluid out, it comes out looking like spit (not sure how else to put it?) Very fine bubbles. I bled it probably 20-30 times and it continued. Thoughts?

 

If you've got bubbles, you've still got air in the line.

As a two-person job, pump up the clutch, push in the clutch, open the bleeder valve and let the clutch push the fluid out of the slave cylinder.

 

I did it maybe 20 times yesterday and every single time it it was very fine bubbles. Could it take more than that?

 

If you went reman master and slave its not far fetched to think you got a dud...

Or you may have a leak in the fittings...try tightening them a bit and see if it helps.

 

There is still air in the system. Try this....

Get a friend(person 1) to help you(person 2) with the following:

Step 1: Person 1 pump the clutch five times. Is the pedal returning?

Step 2: On the fifth pump let person 2 know to crack the bleeder for split second then close. By the time you've reached the bottom of pedal travel, person 2 should have cracked the bleeder and closed it. (there should never be a time when the pedal is returning up and the bleeder is cracked. This introduces air into the system. Think of breathing).

-Rinse and repeat the previous step until the pedal feels firm and returns as normal. ALWAYS CHECK THE MASTER. Refill after every 2 cycles.

Person 2 should see the "spit" effect for a while until all air is out of the system. After a few times of step 2, the stream then looks like a pressurized line with fluid spewing out at consistent pressure.

Once pedal is firm and returns, top off master and go for a test drive.

This may take awhile. It all depends on where the air is in the system.
