Clutch pedal travel is low

Beast · 08-20-2005, 06:48 AM

My car usually has 6-8 inches of clutch pedal travel, and the clutch engages midway through the throw... here lately it's been down to like 3-4 inches of total travel, although the engagement seems to have shifted to be midway between the new travel length.

Any ideas?

Also, I forgot to mention that if I use my toe to pull the pedal all the way out, the first 2 inches or so of travel are spongy as hell...

how many miles are on the car? what type of clutch? how old is the cluth? This could be a number of things.

80K, stock clutch on a 2000 TA. Any ideas?

Get a new clutch and upgraded hydraulics.

The stock clutch in my 1999 lasted 29,000.

I ran into a similar thing and found the clutch resevoir was empty (fun). Refilled with a new can of dot 3 (only took a couple ounces at most) and the pedal came back to the top. I have been watching it to see if I have a leak, but the level is holding for now, as is the pedal...
