What happened to my clutch? *pic/vid*

[BenMitchell]

your clutch is unreasonably heavy! :dance:

If anyone cares this was attached to my clutch master cylinder and likely just popped out under the high pressure. The retaining clip that threads through the end of this and into the master cylinder was old and rubbish. Hard a hard time finding a new clip, Holden spares don't sell it by itself, comes with the entire master cylinder kit however.

The above link is exactly what the clip looks like, that link is for a Volvo but it's essentially identical. Clutch fluid line hasn't budged in months so all looks well.

Oh and the wreckers is where I sourced the clip. Not many manual VE's floating around in the yard but I got lucky

How's your pedal feel now? Still as heavy as before?

 

[kronz]

Still hard as a rock! Guess that's just the way it is!

 

[vr304]

I'm picking there must be a problem with your pressure plate or the slave cylinder/ release bearing it shouldn't be that bad

Yeah possibly! Made a thread under VE in the show off your ride section under "cammed VE SS Ute"
