Soft clutch problems (Updated)

[Starion VR4]

Son's Staz had the exact same symptoms, after much stuffing around we found the problem as the push rod on the master cylinder, seams the cushion in the rod was soaked in brake fluid & turned it to sludge mess rubber, made a solid unit & now son's clutch is perfect, its a bugger to get to under the dash.

hmm I was thinking it wasn't that to be honest as when I was under the car, the cylinder moved in a uniform movement from clutch out to clutch in. It isn't like it feels on the pedal. The movement seems to sync up, just the clutch griping doesn't happen until down the bottom. Was going to try one last bleed today and see.

Well looks like it ended up being the Clutch Master Cylinder clevis. The rubber was slightly damaged and instead of pushing the rod, it was pivoting instead. Went and bought a set of 12mm washers for $4.95 and rebuilt it as a solid unit and all sweet now.

Cost of a new one, only comes in New kit. $79.95. Fuck that.

Glad we fixed it Woody, glad to know it's another problem everyone need to look for with clutch problems. :beer
