Clutch pedal gone all of a sudden whilst driving ...

Hey,

I was driving along yesterday and went to change from 2nd to 3rd when the clutch pedal just seemed to fall to the floor. Now when I push the clutch pedal down it doesn't disengage the clutch properly. I have to push the pedal as hard as i can to get the car into gear and to get it home i had to blip the rev in between shift so that it wouldn't crunch gears. It's going to Bezerkly tomorrow to get checked out just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of whats going on cause its doing my head in...

Thanks :nyaanyaa:

most likely your clutch master cyl is gone

change the slave cyl as well if you're doing the master cylinder

check your clutch fluid level, if it's too low then top it up, pump the pedal up and drive it carefully to the mechanics to get it fixed

the genuine master and slave cylinders aren't that expensive from nissan, so just save yourself the hassle and get new ones instead of messing around trying to rebuild/reseal the master cyl.. if the master cyl bore is scored then u've wasted your time rebuilding it

I Wish I had an easy fix like that :(

Just Pulled my slave off to change as I thought it had gone only to find that the locating/pivot bolt for the clutch fork has snapped...Yay Gearbox has to come out now :)

speaking of spot welds on the pedal brackets..

this reminded me that few days ago when my friend's r33 got broken into when parked on the streets in redfern/waterloo area

nothing was stolen, all they did was they pulled the brackets out of the accelerator pedal

and punctured one rear tyre..

when i saw it i was surprised how it didnt seem too hard to pull the bracket out... done with just a bit of leverage, force wasnt even enough to bend the bracket

with clutch pedal being heavier than accelerator, especially if you have heavy duty clutch, i guess it'll become a weak point..

why would they pull the accelerator pedal box out?

that is quite random! :thumbsup:

ya it is

and popped one of the tyres too

the parking spots close to city, on the streets, in front of some houses..

they probably didnt like him parking there so decided to do something to his car so he won't park there

whoever did it knew skylines quite well by the way it was broken into...

I Wish I had an easy fix like that :P

Same thing happened to my friend last weekend at DECA in Shepparton, had to drive it back to melbourne with no clutch starting it in gear. Do you know if there's anything that gets left inside the box that could be left dangling and doing damage to the inside of the gearbox?? Sorry don't mean to hijack thread..

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
