Hi, I have a clutch problem. For a while I have had a clutch that coudnt disengage fully. I suspected worn pilotbearing. Today I changed the clutch, put in a brand new LUK clutch - so nice. The Pilot-bearing looked fine, so I didnt change it, just gave it a little bit of grease. Used mypinky to grease it - felt fine. When I started the engine, I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!!!. It feels like the clutch just doesnt dis-engage enough. I have to switch off engine, put in gear, start engine with clutch depressed, other foot on brake, since cars just wants to drive. When I bleed the hydraulic system, funny symptom. Ida depresses clutch, I open bleedscrew, clutch-pedal goes the rest of wayto the floor. Looks to me like some kind of problem, that the release-bearing arm cannot turn enough. Maybe problem with the release-arm bushings? Maybe problem with slavecylinder? I am fully puzzled, I will get another slavecylinder early sunday morning (used one), and try to put that on my car,and see if it solves problem. Anyone have ANY idea of what can be causing the problem? And does anyone know how much the slavecylinder-piston should be able to travel? /JJ
