Still sounds like it's a leak or there's some decent air in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we're rained out of work and I can do it in the morning instead of fighting the clutch pedal all day lol. Vacuum bled this arvo, Spent about 20 min pumping the pedal, cracked the nipple a couple times and pumped pedal for another 20 min but with precisely 0% improvement.

After messing with it this morning and moving all my toolboxes off, I dropped it to my mechanic to dig further. Pain to try drive as is and the problem is out of the range of my capabilities now. If he diagnoses the slave as the issue ill order all of the above^^^ parts to fit. Out of interest, I know it depends heavily on driver abuse but whats the expected lifespan of an NPC C/mix clutch? And is there a wear gauge that can be inspected looking at it? Like with tire tread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence no fluid loss. Mechanic reckons there's not much material left on the clutch & the flywheel is blue so guess I'm up for a whole clutch kit now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,991 Member For: 16y 7m 14d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 06/03/20 12:19 AM Share Posted 06/03/20 12:19 AM Ahh that is a pita... So the clutch had worn so far that the slave was pushing in too far past it's seals... That's going to be a bit expensive unless it's within warranty for the clutch.

bupalooga Silver Donating Members 261 Member For: 12y 1m 18d Gender: Male Location: Griffith NSW Posted 06/03/20 12:53 AM Share Posted 06/03/20 12:53 AM Clutch is 5yrs & 50,000km old so doubt any warranty would last that long. I am pretty hard on it honestly, think I just need to stop some of my bad habits and get someone else to pick up the bunnings trailers. Will probally order a malwood option 3+ with the extra bits. Reckon a twin plate will be a bit difficult for my daily work use. And I've (financially) decided that 300kw is enough power... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit more difficult on your wallet only, pedal feel/effort with a twin plate is typically comparable or lighter than stock in my experience.
