Clutch - Help

[bang]

Hey guys,

I've read a lot about people having problems with their clutch grabbing too low. My problem is the opposite where the friction point is way too high (pretty much 1cm from the top).

I've tried readjusting the pedal but it doesn't seem to do much - bite point stays the same, pedal just get sits lower or higher depending on how its adjusted. Can this be fixed or is it just a case of a worn clutch?

Its a '94 r32 GT-R

Thanks

Are you adjusting the push rod.

[bang]

Yeah that's the one. Right now the U bracket that's connected to the back of the pedal is all the way at the end of the push rod.

Adjusting it all the way down the other way makes a little difference to the height at which the pedal sits naturally but no difference to the grab point of the clutch.

if you have a 94 gtr you have a pull type clutch like in my r34. they tend to have a higher engagement point than the traditional pull type. how many km are on the car? do you know if its the standard clutch? if it turns out to be worn as well then this will make the engagement point higher. hope this helps

Dunno if its standard but I know its a twin plate from the noise it makes. Bout 120 xxx kms on it (probably been wound back). Thanls for your input, ahhbee. Kinda confirms a worn clutch.

Do you know if bleeding + replacing clutch fluid could help?

[ahhbee]

unless the pedal feels really soft and spongy bleeding the lines probably wont make a difference, with the km it has and the fact that very few skylines have been babied there whole life i also think its probably a worn clutch. im kinda in the same boat actually, my clutch is worn and as such the engagment point is about 10/15mm from the end, instead of about 25mm where it would be with a good clutch. its still perfectly drivable, just have to be a little more carefull and not slip it away from lights etc.

ps. in my last post i meant to say pull type will be higher than the traditional push type

[bang]

Pedals are pretty firm actually. Guess i'll try and milk this clutch til it starts to slip a bit more before I go shopping for a new one.

Got a pretty stock gtr so wouldnt be surprised if it lasts ages.

Thanks again!
