First off!! ever so sorry i couldnt make it today Ian (blue dragon), been having issues with my clutch and because my car is a daily driver i had to rip it apart and find out whats wrong. sorry mate. if you still need a hand tomorrow give me a shout

well i decided i would take the box out as i though my pressure plate might have been at fault and this might be part of the reason why my clutch pedal aint returning properly. that or the release bearing.

8 this moring i got the car on the ramp and started on my way




and what was hiding under the box





i had no idea the car was running this type of upgrade. it felt like it had one but i had never driven a subaru before this so i didnt know what to expect.

turns out to be a exedy paddle clutch and a lightened and balanced flywheel

im well happy i got this kit. even though i still didnt manage to fix my problem

That's definately a nice surprise....lucky you hadn't bought a new clutch & lightened flywheel before discovering that . My clutch wasn't returning properly so had a small tension spring fitted near the servo and now it works a treat(fitted spring just under the TMIC).

if i was you i would change it to either a 6 puck or just a normal exedy plate myself as the 3 puck is harsh and have less life in them with your clutch problem with the pedal not returning did you blead both the clutch nipples ??
is it you that is building a 2.5 ??

it is me both the clutch nipples???? i only know of one.

i have fitted a new slave cylinder and the spring is there

oh and a agree the 3 puck is harsh.

there is one in the engine bay on drivers side behined the suspension you need to bleed this first then bleed the cluch slave after just follow the pipe back from the clutch slave

i have a project thread on building a 2.5 so if you need any help let me know

mr_D

iTrader: (12)

just spotted it. thanks. i will bleed that soon and maybe that will solve my issue! if not looks like im paying ~£150 for a master cylinder lol

im almost sure it will do the trick

mr_D

iTrader: (12)

i notice that both brake and clutch lines go to this valve. is there any special way to bleed it or is it just the same as normal. and just do the clutch pedal?

mr_D

iTrader: (12)

mines the same and was told it could be the return spring isnt strong enough??? Had a new clutch kit fitted and still the same, have to remove the intercooler to get to spring so cant be arsed in this weather we keep getting.

I'm not fussed on going to the meets etc.. anymore as I've lost abit of interest in the whole club meet thing because i haven't attended any in awhile just don't miss it that much now so not bothered

mr_D

iTrader: (12)

my spring is there and the spring doesnt aid in the pedal return i dont think! but i could be wrong

i see. well im free tomorrow night. i was going to strip the pedal out and see if i could see something wrong with it! are you free?

mr_D

iTrader: (12)

i think i have done it. adjusted the pedal in 2 places after stirpping it out and cleaning it and it seems to have cured my problem, the pedal is a lil high now but not that high that it compromses things



thanks for offering your help though mate! much appreciated!
