Clutch Engagement

Raziel008

This is my daily driver. I just got my Z back today from the dealer service shop after having them swap the OEM Master Cylinder to new OEM MC, OEM Slave Cylinder to ZSpeedPerformance's HD (CSC) Concentric Slave Cylinder and the OEM Clutch to the ZSpeed OEM Stage 1 Clutch Replacement and must also mention that now the clutch pedal engages almost 1-3 inches from the top where as before the engagement occured near the middle of the pedal's travel distance. I've had the car since 27K miles to the current 46.5K miles. The pedal went soft last fall and it took me a while to figure out it was my Clutch Master Cylinder that was the fault and not the CSC (which a lot of posts I've read led me to believe). However, the pedal feels great now with the new HD CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) installed.


Pedal developed a 'clicking' that was heard and felt @ about 32K miles > Had dealership replace pedal only with warranty > Sound went away but came back 8 months later > Performed clutch bleed that contained much sediment and air bubbles > Pedal went half way to floor after bleeding but returned to normal after 1 or 2 miles of normal driving > Pedal gradually became softer and engagement was lower and lower until I could not shift into gear at all with the engine running > Broke off bleed valve from OEM CSC body during bleed attempt > Flatbed to dealer and spent about $1K on labor:
