OK,

 

Thought I had sorted my clutch probs but they have reappeared!

 

Here are the symptoms:

 

When the car gets hot, and I come to a standstill i.e. in traffic, I can't get into any gear. I turn the engine off put it into gear and it starts off then the clutch will start slipping going down the road! I stop let the car cool down and it is back to normal!

 

Also when driving it normally the biting point keeps on changing!

 

Here is the spec,

 

OS gilken twin carbon fibre plate clutch and flywheel!

New thrust bearing

Uprated Jun pivot ball

SS clutch hose

New Slave and Master cylinders

Clutch booster tanks bypassed!

Probably about five litres of dot 5.1 put through the system to bleed it!

 

Any ideas?

1 check the adjustment on the clutch pedal

 

2 bleed the clutch again!!

 

other than that - is there any special adjustments to do on the twin clutch plates??? shims or anything. sorry not familiar with them mark!

Sorry forgot to add that I have adjusted the pedal out virtually as far it can go!

 

No shims on the twin clutch plates, or what seems to be any form of adjustment!

 

Did a search on TT net paul and a guy cured a similiar problem by the clutch pedal booster springs, but I can't see how the clutch booster can affect the dis/engagement point of the clutch!

 

My other thoughts are that maybe it is a faulty clutch or faulty master cylinder?

Something is letting air in Mark - it has to be! Are any of the areas around the joins/seals/pistons wet?

 

CheerZ,

Hi Andy,

 

Nothing is wet, the new slave cylinder cured the problem for a couple of weeks now it is back!

 

Why would it only happen when the car is hot if it is a leak, does the expansion of the air cause the problem, to kick in like this?

Are you happy that the bleed nipple is not drawing air in. I know it's unlikely but as you have been bleeding the system, though it may be worth checking it. And are you 100% sure that you have got all the air out?

If I bled it anymore times, the car would be throwing garlic at me and change it's emblem to a Crucifix :eek:

 

I am thinking of seeing if the car deteriorates and if it improves when I bleed it once more I know it is air or a leak!

LOL - I'm assuming that the functionality returns to normal when you use the car from cold?

I must admit virtually every time it has happened, I have bled it! But I think I have left it and normal functioning returned!

:confused: :confused: hhhmmmmmm
