So i pulled out the slave cylinder out yesterday to clean up the rod a little it and give more lube on it. when I put it back in(before I bolt it back on tight) my friend step on the clutch. So the fluid started coming out. we figure we would need to bleed the clutch and we did. Afterwards, the car won't start at all. So we check the fork inside the dust boot, looks like it moved a bit. when we look the fork was kinda at the bottom of the dust boot, then we took the dust boot out to check on the fork. The fork looks like it was popped out of place or some sort, we putted everything back into place, the car finally started up. but the werid thing is the clutch shift point is all the way at the bottom. So there's only about 1inch for my feet to lift up before i give gas. also, the clutch is very soft.

my question is:

1. Is it the fork at the wrong spot or wrong angle causing the shift point at the bottom?

 

Answer #1: IMO there is still air in the slave (or the whole system).
Re-bleed.

Bleeding the slave works best with the slave off the trans and the piston pushed ALL the way in the slave.

 

we did tried twice to bleed the system though. still doesn't work...

 

so there's like at least 4-5 inches free play before the clutch point..

 

Keep bleeding the clutch until it's OK. Buy more fluid too, it may take all night!

When done right it takes about 3 times the capacity of the reservoir and 20 minutes bleeding when done by one person.


Removing the slave = polish the push rod.
Use EP grease (or some anti seize compound) on the push rod when re-installing it.
Your clutch will feel like new!

 

i tried already...

during that time, the fork did came out of the place, but it placed back in.(is there different way of putting it in? or just one way?) would that be the problem at all???

this is the fork i'm talkin about. So this piece was out. is there a right way to put this back in?


cuz right now, the car is still driveable.

 

any other help??

 

How did you bleed your system?

 

AIR in the slave.

You can pump and bleed all day by conventional methods, you will not get the air out.

Unbolt the slave, point the bleeder straight up, and open it. This is all done with gravity. DO NOT touch the clutch pedal at all. Watch the air come out. Close it fast, and/or have someone watch the res and make sure it doesnt go empty.

Come back and post it worked
