clutch pedal weak but still works

**Jackel** · 01-11-2007, 10:43 PM

howdy people since i've left the supra for a few weeks while driving my celica the clutch has become to easy to push in.

I can still change gears and the clutch still works but i can push the pedal in with my finger. Anyone know what it could be.

I've bleed it i think correctly no air was in the tube.

so did you recently install the master/slave, or did it just happen and you tried to bleed it to correct it?

it sounds like theres either air in the system or your pressure plates shagged

na havn't changed anything cars just been sitting there for about three weeks without driving it. Doesn't leak fluid and just decided to bleed it because people said it could be that but it didn't change anything

You sure a heavier pedal on the Celica isnt just making you think the Supra's pedal is too light?
Maybe it was always like that but youve just become used to the Celica's?
... it aint such a silly idea.

^ agreed, after driving my 05 rav4 i get back into the cressy with r154 and 1jz clutch master and it feels much lighter!

Indeed. After driving my old Starion around, I nearly put my foot through the floor of my RA60 and I couldn't feel the one in her old Matiz

in nearly every clutch ive bled, they are always absolute BASTARDS to bleed. ive either had to get a 2m clear hose to put over the bleeder nipple, or taken the slave and line off and hold it above the mater while bleeding. are you sure you bled it properly?

it's a one person bleed kit with a self dripping thingy i just had to pump the pedal and fill the fluid.

I did think it could be the celica pedal at first but they seem totally different i didn't think it was that weak before hand

if it also slips under high load, you may have bent some of the pressur eplate fingers...

if it doesn7t slip in high gear/high load.... she'll be roight...
any other suplah pedals you can push for comparison?

yeah in my experiences it was that the slave had to be higher than the master to properly bleed the air, rather than the setup used to bleed the system.

does it feel weird, as in when you let your foot off the clutch its like a switch, either on or off.
or when you put your foot down, theres heaps of travel = nothing, then it starts pushing the pressure plate in nearing the bottom of the pedal travel? or is it progressive?

its sounds like it may be normal, and you just got used to the supra

well my friends 7m supra mines 1g said its way lighter then his. It has heaps of travel before it works but it works like a normal clutch just to easy to push in. I'm starting to get convinced it was just me driving the celica to long but i will bleed it again over the weekend just to make sure it was done correctly.
