HR Clutch pedal sticky

published by hrmad on Mon, 29/11/2004 - 20:27

Hi everyone

The clutch pedal on my HR tends to stay on the floor after changing gears - ie. its sticky.

Does this mean that my clutch in on the way out, or is there any adjustment I can do to rectify this?

thanks in advance.

Asuming your hydraulic system is working OK, ie slave cylinder, master cylinder etc I would say the return spring from the pedal up under the dash that goes back to the pedal box has come off or has broken. Get under there with a torch and have a look.

Hope that helps.

I should have mentioned that the spring off the pedal is ok...

I'm prolly best to take it to a mechanic....

Hey dude,

I had a similar problem in my HX. It had a hydro clutch on a celica box. The problem was the pedal would go real hard half way to the floor. Was getting a real sore knee from driving it. A few weeks ago the slave cylinder blew. Luckily it happened just as I got home in the driveway. The cause was the fork and the cylinder were slightly out of line which ment the pushrod was on a slight angle putting the load of the clutch on one side of the cylinder. The cylinder wall was badly scored one that side which caused the lousey opperation. May not be the prob but it may help.

:)
