i have put a diferent clutch pedal in my car. prior to this the car worked fine, and the car the pedal came from worked fine.

 

apart from the fact that you have to unbolt the clutch master cylinder to change the pedal i have not altered or adjusted anything else in the clutch system

 

so now i have a problem. I have to push the pedal right to the floor in order to change gear. the biting point is right down at a fraction off the floor and some times even lower (ie sometimes the car still drives with the pedal hard on the floor and i strugle to get it out of gear)

 

so having read a couple of guides, i deduce that in order move the biting point upwards, i need to make the clutch pedal rod longer so it pushes on the clutch master cylinder earlier. correct???

 

anyway, i've loosened the lock nut on the pedal and wound the rod out as far towards the booster / master cylinder as it can. however this has not fixed or even improved the problem.

 

i don't think the switch position is affecting it as the problem is at the bottom end of the pedal travel. what am i doing wrong?

or you have let air into the system?

or you have let air into the system?

 

hmmm, how and where could that have hapened?

 

the other car upon recieving the pedal from this one had a higher bighting point than previously, hence why i thought it was the pedal rod adjustment

just a thought.

 

could it also be the switch. this is used to set the height when not pressing the clutch pedal

did you remove/disturb the pipe from the master to the slave?

 

that would have let air in,

 

or did you just swap the peddal

Why did you unbolt the mastercylinder to replace the pedal ?

 

or you mean you replaced the booster ?

 

or is your car a Non Turbo ? (but then it wouldn't have a booster)

removed pedal and booster as one

 

therefore had to unbolt master cylinder and moved it off the bolts, put new pedal/booster back in and pushed master cylinder back on to bolts and did up nuts

have you verified the (adjustable) rod sticking out of the booster (the one that goes into the master cylinder) was at the same length as the rod from you old booster ?

 

I presume this is causing your problem.

 

otherwise put your old booster back in.

Yup your going to need to adjust the pedal to the same position as your old one, slacken off lock nut and screw the adjuster to take up the slack.
