Clutches and Flywheels

if your problem is a sloppy pedal......... then you probably need to bleed the slave cylinder, not adjust the clutch cable.

As you correctly point out, this is a cable, not hydraulic, system. The adjustment is on the top of the transmission, towards the front of the car, between the motor and the battery. IT is usually a big black "cable" leading into a 3" while plastic adjustment mechanism, before the actual cable itself exits and heads to the clutch release arm.

In this case, you need 2 wrenches (13mm as I recall) and need to turn the white plastic bits until the clutch cable snugs up a bit.

clutch pedal doe yoo

It is a BIG job. Unless you have a lot of tools and are a good mechanic, take it to a garage. If you want to do it yourself get a manual from AUTOBOOKSONLINE.COM.

take the driveshafts off unbolt the gearbox and slide off to the right. clutch is then visible. about a 3 hour job not to difficult

Follow the clutch pipeline to where it ends at the gearbox. Push down on the clip closest to engine and open up the bleed nipple gently push down on clutch pedal few times till u see only fluid passing through. Repeat the process couple of times you should have a nice soft pedal.

Its a silly design by the french auto once you know

How u can excuse erm.

when u take the engine case off u should c the variator closest to the frount and the clutch bell u need to make a tool to hold the bell note not the wheel just the bell and undo the nut and the clutch assembly should come off

Try to press the clutch twice or trice in order to disengage it. If that does not work try adjusting the clutch tension. If that do not work maybe the clutch needs to be replaced with a new clutch. Try elimination process until you could find the real problem anyway there is no harm in trying and the plus factor about it is that you get to know the ins and outs of your vehicle. If problem still exists when all of my suggestion didnt work, maybe its time to seek professional help. It maybe a bit costly than making it yourself but you can be assured they will fix the problem.

Begin by checking the clutch linkage going to the transmission. See if there is anything broken that keeps the linkage from disengaging the clutch. Just have someone press in the clutch pedal while you look in the engine bay for moving parts. Make sure that all parts leading to the tranmission seem to be in good working order. I have a 1990 240sx that was doing the same thing when I bought it. It turned out that the clutch disc was sooooooo badly worn that it would no longer release. If the clutch is not releasing there are a few things it could be: Bad slave cylinder, bad master cylinder, broken release bearing fork or worn clutch disc. If you look under the car just behind the passenger side front tire and have someone push in the clutch pedal you should be able to see the slave cylinder push on the end of the release bearing fork. If it doesn't move then you have a nice cheap $40.00 half hour job ahead of you. Consider yourself lucky. If it moves and pushes on the release bearing fork the problem is internal and you'll have to pull the transmission. With two people and an okay assortment of hand tools this took us about four hours to pull the transmission, replace the clutch, pressure plate, release bearing and pilot bushing, then put the transmission back in. While you're in there inspect the release bearing fork and the flywheel, because the less you have to remove your transmission, the better life will be. As a side note, the old release bearing will have to be pressed off the throw out assembly, and the new one pressed on. A machine shop can do this for a nominal fee. Although this step will add some extra time to the process it is HIGHLY recommended to replace the release bearing with the new one that comes with the clutch kit. No matter how nice your old bearing may seem, if you put the car back together with the old bearing you'll be removing the transmission again in the near future. Good luck everyone, and if there's anything I left out, I apologize.

I usually have done it at my shop for friends for about 800 bucks, also depends on which kind of clutch set your getting and brand.

Hello All Automobiles require Transmission Fluid. Something has to lubricate the gears. Good Luck and Remember.

Can mean a few things. Low hydraulic fluid( brake fluid) in clutch master cylinder, worn clutch disc, needs bleed, slave cylinder slowly losing seal, seals in master cylinder, linkage problem. It could go forever but it is probably just the clutch disk material. To sum it up it means take it to the shop because if you don't know what it could be you most likely don't know how to fix it and it will only get worse to the point where it will not move

First, unhook the battery, block the wheels and jack up the left side of the car. Crawl under and look straight up from the axle; you will find the clutch lever on the side of the transmission. Unhook it. Then open the engine compartment and unhook the accelerator cable from the carb.

Go into the driver's footwell and flip the gas pedal forward. You will see two bolts holding the pedal cluster on. Remove them, and work the cluster out of the hole it's in.

If the clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor when you step on it, three things could have happened - well, four if you count the transmission breaking but that's the least likely to happen.

First, the hook on the end of the clutch pedal could break. If that's what happened, it's held on with a little bolt on the side. Remove the bolt, slip out the old hook. Grease the shaft of the new one, stick it where the old one was and put the bolt back in.

Second, the clutch pedal end of the cable could have broken and third, the transmission end could have broken. In either case, stick your finger into the hole the clutch cable is sticking out of and find the clutch cable tube. When you do, pull the old cable completely out. Grease the new one and work it into the clutch cable tube. When it's almost all the way in, put it on the hook and put the pedals back in place.

Crawl under the car. Put the end of the cable through the clutch arm on the transmission, then screw on one of the two nuts - the other is a jam nut. Get someone to push the clutch pedal down 1/2" with their hand, and run the nut all the way up to the clutch arm, then put on the jam nut. Set the car on the ground, hook up the accelerator cable and reconnect the battery.

Checking the slave on any car is fairly easy: There is a bleeder screw for the slave. Losen it and compress clutch. If no presure coming in, then problem is before slave. If there is pressure (fluid) strong flow coming in, but no movement of the slave, than the slave is bad.

To remove the fan clutch on a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Next, use a wrench to hold the water pump pulley in place while you turn the fan clutch counterclockwise to loosen it. Once loose, carefully detach the fan clutch from the water pump shaft. Be cautious of any remaining coolant and ensure you have the necessary tools, as some fan clutches may require a special tool for removal.

To free an engaged clutch on a Mahindra 8560 tractor, first ensure the tractor is in neutral and the engine is turned off. Then, attempt to gently rock the tractor back and forth while pressing the clutch pedal repeatedly to help disengage it. If this doesn't work, check for any obstructions or issues with the clutch linkage and hydraulic system. If the problem persists, it may be best to consult the tractor's manual or a professional mechanic for further assistance.

The automotive system that uses universal joints and a clutch is the drivetrain. Universal joints are employed to allow for flexibility in the driveshaft, accommodating the movement of the vehicle's suspension while transmitting power from the engine to the wheels. The clutch operates as a mechanism to engage or disengage the engine's power from the drivetrain, enabling smooth gear shifts and control over the vehicle's speed.

To remove the clutch on a 1986 Kawasaki Voyager XII, begin by ensuring the bike is on a stable stand and disconnect the battery. Next, drain the engine oil and remove the left side cover to access the clutch assembly. Unfasten the clutch cable and remove any retaining bolts or clips holding the clutch pack in place. Finally, gently pull the clutch out, taking care to note the order of the components for reassembly.
