The clutch pedal has an assist spring and return spring. The assist spring tension must be adjusted to create a balance point at which the clutch pedal will over center and return to the fully disengaged position. It is also possible that the system may have air or the push rod attached to the pedal may be out of adjustment.
Your clutch needs adjusted or replaced.
if there is a clutch adjustment on car, adjust the clutch if no adjustment, you will shortly need to replace the clutch
I have a 1997 Camaro with the 3800 Series II V6 and a 5-speed tranny. I was driving down the road when someone pulled out in front of me and i was downshifting fast and missed 3rd and when into 1st on accident. i quickly pulled it out of first and when i was up shifting i heard a pop then my clutch went soft so i pumped it a few times and it got rock hard. tried to put it in gear and it grinds so i know my clutch didnt go. What is my problem?
The clutch reservoir on a 1996 Geo Tracker is located in the engine compartment, near the firewall. It stores clutch fluid which is pulled into the system as needed.
The revs jump up because when the clutch is pulled in the engine gets disconnected from the wheels. This means that it no longer has to move the weight of the bike and it's driver, so its much easier for the engine to work.
1. Clutch fluid is brake fluid. 2. The fluid used for your clutch master/slave cylinders is pulled from your brake fluid reservoir.
Because you have to have the clutch depressed to start it. They came factory with a clutch safety switch that will not allow the engine to start unless the clutch pedal is pressed to the floor . NOT. the clutch safety switch only allows the starter to be energized... If the glow plugs will cycle then the truck can be pulled to start. When my starter solenoid was bad I pulled it to start.
put it in nutral, give it some gas and shift up to first. if it has a clutch,pull in the clutch, shift to first,keep the clutch pulled in, give it alot of gas shift to 2nd then let go of the clutch fast.
I had same problem so I changed clutch, no diference. found the plate the clutch pedal conects to had pulled away from bulkhead. rewelded to bulkhead and clutch was fine.
The compressor clutch does not need to be shimmed. The outside disc is pressed on until the proper air gap is achieved. If it is pressed on to far it has to be pulled off and reinstalled.
Make sure the sidestand is retracted.
Downshifting a motorcycle isn't necessary in order to stop, but it is a good habit. The best thing to do is pull in the clutch and apply both brakes to gradually slow down. While doing that, shift into first gear. This allows you to make evasive maneuvers if necessary when you are at a stop. Also, with the clutch pulled you can upshift to the proper gear if necessary (e.g. if you are in traffic and it starts to move before you come to a complete stop).
