Well i have been stalling alot lately and thought i was just an idiot, ends up that the first several inches is just play, juuustt enough pressure to lift the pedal out, and then the last 3 inches is normal clutch.. what would be causing this??? its an act stage 1 clutch

 

broken part behind the steering wheel

 

This is caused by the clutch pedal return spring. The return spring has about the same pressure pushing back as the stock pressure plate, so it all feels the same with a stock clutch. When you put an aftermarket clutch in your car, with a heavier pressure plate, logically the return spring doesn't get tighter because it's part of the clutch pedal assembly. So that play you feel is the return spring not being as stiff as your pressure plate. To offset this you can adjust the stopper on the upper part of the clutch pedal (when it rests in the "up" position). Adjust it down to where there is no more play. However, the downside to this is it will feel like your clutch is engaging at the top because you got rid of the pedal freeplay. On a side note, I am curious as to why most aftermarket clutch kits don't include a return spring that has about the same amount of feedback as the pressure plate, to make the engagment seemless.

 

Very similar to Fords and our crappy stock adjustable clutch cable.

Rep for Superluminal for going out of his way to throw up information to help y'all out.

 

thanks for the help, that doesnt seem to be the issue here though, I just drove agian and when i first drove off it was this way, and then after a few mins it was back to normal again and also, i think its the stock pressure plate in the car

 

So is the clutch pedal changing positions randomly?

 

sounds like you need to bleed the clutch

 

Usually, that would result in the pedal becoming stiff or weak due to air pockets in the lines; hence, not effecting pedal free play. The problem could be a number of things from failed pilot bearing, the absence of a pilot bearing, or a faulty master and or slave cylinder. Start by inspecting the master and slave cylinder to ensure they are working properly, then go from there. The whole hydraulic clutch system is actually very basic in the way it operates, so it can only be so many things. If your clutch system (cylinders, lines, etc.) are in good condition and are moving the shift fork properly then it could be something wrong internally.

 

lovely.. deff. sounds over my head but ill give it a shot. thanks.

 

Sounds like a pressure plate problem. Or like he said a pilot bearing problem
