Very little clutch!
 
Got in the car this morning and the clutch pedal is engaging an inch from the bottom and the pedal has a ton of play at the top. It was fine all day yesterday. Any suggestions?

Temporary - Replace fluid with RBF600

Permanent - Replace CSC, while you are at it replace the MC, flywheel and clutch

Thanks for the help! Looks like I'll be needing a new CSC. There wasn't an ounce of fluid in the reservoir. Put in some RBF600 and it seems to be back. So what CSC should I get as well as the clutch? I have the JWT flywheel and I do intend to make the jump to a SC in the next 6 weeks. Thanks again.

Either the zspeed hd csc or the z1 external csc. The z1 product is newer and I believe takes a few extra steps to install so that it can be mounted externally, but it allows you to service without removing the tranny.


Can't go wrong with either. I have the zspeed one.

Do not use OEM CSC. Z speed has a heavy duty CSC and Z1 offers a CSC Elimination Kit.

I just installed the Z1 CSCEK this past weekend. I did the install in my garage with some help. I am very happy with the results. I don't recommend the DIY though - it wasn't fun.

Make sure you also replace the Clutch Master Cylinder at the same time. Ask Joe@Zspeed or John@Z1 for clutch replacement suggestions (whichever one you decide to order your CSC replacement from).

Agree, no more trouble to bleed a new master and new CSC than the CSC alone. Plus, you should bench bleed the master before installing, get as much fluid in there as you can to avoid having to push that much more air down to the CSC port. Nothing like having to push air downhill to get it out when it naturally wants to rise to the top....
