Clutch pedal problem

**wooddaniel** · 09-30-2010, 08:41 AM

I finally got around to getting the new Tick Performance Master cylinder put in. The car is still doing the same thing it was before; the pedal is sticking to the floor after going WOT up to 6700 RPMs in every gear that I have tried it in. Also, I can't put the car in gear while the pedal is sticking, when I go to change gears while it's sticking it's like the clutch isnt even engaged even though the pedal is depressed fully. It has improved some since the Master install; I can go to around 6K Rpms without it sticking. Any suggestions as what I should replace next? Could it be the clutch? Or is it more likely the slave/throwout??? Maybe something isnt lined up right down there??? Thanks for any input, this is driving me up the wall.

It never did this until I installed heads/cam. I'm now making around 420 to the wheels (Dynoed 416 before the UD pulley and New TB) Also, the clutch is an LS7 clutch that is about a year old.

I am betting wslave cylinder. I replaced mine wen i did my ls7 clutch swap

Cool, I have one, just didnt want to have to pull the trans to install it if the master fixed it. I guess I'll go ahead and get a monster clutch while I am at it.

Yeah, i did swapped it out cuz my pedal was sticking. When i did my ls7 i did the master and slave and drill mod all together

It could be a weak pressure plate. Sounds like you might fix the problem with the monster clutch

i have a monster clutch. Installed it about 4 months ago and have no sticky clutch you speak of.

If/when you install the Monster, and the problems cease, the only issue you will have will be...

TRACTION.

Keep us posted OP.

I already have issues with Traction since the heads and cam

I love driving my car now, it pulls like a freight train up top.

Oh, by the way cammed goat, saw that you're from NJ I'm going to Fort Dix NJ in two weeks when I deploy. Any good places to party that you know of?

**cammed goat** · 10-03-2010, 07:59 AM

I've never been to Ft Dix so I don't know any nearby hangouts.

Update: I was driving on I95 today and downshifted to 4th to pass a slow semi. When I passed him, My pedal didnt come back up as usual. It eventually came back up, but it's like it's swinging freely and the clutch will not disengage. I drove the car 250 miles home without a clutch stuck in 4th gear... it just quit on me out of nowhere. throwout bearing break? Im getting it towed to a shop tomorrow.

I am thinking you're right. Your pedal shouldn't just be flopping back and forth. Any noises from the trans while you were driving after the pedal incident?

No unusual noises, just the pedal swings freely and I have to slam the gears if I wanna change them. Getting home was an adventure I had to circle in parking lots when there was a red light

I'm wondering if the slave went? I can't remember if the throwout bearing for the Tremec has needle bearings. If the throwout bearing has needle bearings in it, then there should have been some sort of rattling noise I would imagine.

When it happened, I heard a slight pop. No more noises afterwards
