anybody else have issues with the hydraulics? i have a new clutch and it doesnt fully disengage when i push in the clutch most of the time on occasion it will work properly but i just speed shift and use the clutch as little as possible and im pretty sure its a failed cup seal and was wondering if anybody else has had this issue? its a standard 2gn not srt on my 01

yup tried that plus it comes and goes so its not adjustment its either the hydraulics or the clutch disk is partially seperating

so long as you're sure you installed the clutch properly i'd say either the clutch master or slave is going bad

well i got a new master and slave and put it together and installed it and even being a plastic line system it was pretty easy to bleed and install the parts on the lines definately a do it yourself ordeal but i got it all put back together and the throwout bearing decided to give up the ghost so the trannys out on the ground and not sure if its working yet.....tba

Glad to hear that you got this fixed !!

So you are saying that the problem was with the clutch itself ??

yeah and being modular i cant say exactly what it is but its either a bad pressure plate or the disk is seperating (in laymans terms the friction material that is made of a material similar to brake pads that is what toutches the flywheel and pressure plate to make or brake the connection is spongy and trying to come apart) so when the pressure is applied the clutch does not fully disengage

So it was defective.
What brand clutch was this, and where did you get it ??

it was just a factory replacement from napa they have switched to a new company though for clutches i dont remember the maker of the old clutch but i always go through napa becuase of my school discount(about 50%) and am still going to i mean the clutch was lifetime warrantied so i didnt have to pay for a new one
