    Default Clutch Problems vl turbo

    hey guys im having a lot of troubles with my gearbox. i have a very low bitting point with my clutch and i can select 1-5 but reverse crunches.ive bled the clutch 4-5 times and made sure there is no airbubbles.the clutch that came with the conversion wasnt the best but looked like it had some life in it.the slave looks fairly new.

    any help would be great

    cheers Allan

    i will look into that pedal and ill pick up a new slave. just did a little bit of research and people having similar problems it was either the slave or pressure plate. if the master there should be a leak or wetness from behind the master, let me know how you go mate.is your pedal feel extremely soft

    ah ok will do. looks like the master is fairly new. i took the slave off and took the boot off and looks a little rust inside. so i guess fluid has leaked. and done a heap of reading and people having the same issue. reverse crunches as its straight cut and the normal gears are not.and turns out most cases the slave

    well took the slave to work and had one of the guys check it out as we have a hydraulics cell. and slave was taken apart and seems fine and also got in contact with the owner before me and he had replaced both master and slave. and said he had the same problem as me and turned out to be some spring in the pedal so ill be looking into that soon

    got the clutch working pretty much spot on. adjusted the master cylinder rod and pedal is firm and can select all gears and biting point is much better
