slowGT Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 It seems like the brake mastrer cylinder brace works well. I was thinking that a brace for the clutch would help out as well. I'm not sure if I am the only one with an inconsistant clutch pedal feel. I have bled it numerous times. Tried a SS flex hose instead of rubber (and bled it after the install), pedal height adjustments, and on and on. Bottom line is on my car sometimes I have a good feel, and most times I don't. I'd love to try a brace but one probably doesn't exist, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citka Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I was unaware they made a clutch master brace. I have their brake master brace. I just went to the Grimmspeed website, but found no clutch master brace. Are you sure they make them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouzGT Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 no sorry it was the brake master brace i misread your thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZP Installs Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Clutch cylinder brace might be more difficult as there is much less to mount to. As far as I have seen, no one makes one and it is probably due to demand vs cost. I agree clutch pedals can be in consistent but not to the point that they should affect driving. Make sure the master cylinder and slave cylinder are in good shape as they do tend to wear out. -Jake http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://upload.pbase.com/image/137566671.jpg Call directly for your best Whiteline Price! | We also carry almost every manufacturer now, so before you buy parts call us.

slowGT Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 I think my master cylinder could be questionable. The shaft looks damp, but not leaking bad yet. Guess I will start there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citka Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I was thinking of bracing the slave cylinder...it seems like it has more potential for movement than the master. Also, more room to make a brace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowGT Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 I thought of that, but it seems to me like the bolts hold it in place good enough. Maybe not though I agree, room is very tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deer Killer Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 It's your stock clutch, it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowGT Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 I can't argue with that. But my issue isn't with the clamping force of the clutch, it's with the mostly crunchy/notchiness of my shifting. I believe I have it narrowed down to the hydraulics part of the clutch. I have bled over and over with no change. I have adjusted the pedal to try and find a sweet spot but it's hard. I find if I mash the pedal quick and with a good amount of force it shifts good. This can't be done too fast though. If I push with a good amount of force but at a slow or average speed it's notchy. I was thinking that the pedal assembly was flexing or that maybe installing a brace would strengthen everything up? I have also tried every gear oil out there. I feel as though it's the hydraulics but maybe I'm chasing a ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deer Killer Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 It's probably because your pressure plate is not releasing completely. It's not the hydraulics, hell I replaced all my hydraulics trying to track it down. Stock pressure plate=shit. I even had it replaced under warranty, and it was only marginally better. No problems with the ACT pressure plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowGT Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Cool thanks. I have 110K and I bought it at 40K. As far as I know it's the original. It grabs and holds good, but if I release it too slow it chatters and makes the car jerk a littled. This could also point me in the direction of my pressure plate as you said. I guess I'm just surprised my TOB hasn't taken a shit yet. They seem to like to take out the snout of the trans too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZP Installs Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 We have seen chattering as a result of the snout having a groove worn in it. We use the TSK Kits on about 50% of our clutch installs due to worn snouts. -mike http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpghttp://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/141039922.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://upload.pbase.com/image/137566671.jpg We carry almost every manufacturer now, so before you buy parts call us.
