Cluth Pedal sticks in freeplay range after releaseing the pedal???

fienloco · 09-09-2008, 01:08 AM

I need to know if this means the clutch is worn and on its way out? I have replace the Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder on my 87 Supra. I have blead the system three times having to refill the Master at least fifteen times and I assure there is no air in the system! When driving, clutching etc. I have noticed that the clutch pedal will A. slowly come up or B. I have to pull it up. This only happens in the pedals range of freeplay not when it is down to the floor only when releasing it. It pops up when released then time to time it will stick in that range where it is supposed to be free. Half inch or so. Does this mean a new clutch is needed or do I have a problem somewhere else????

I don't know much about clutches but check the fluid level, and any interference with the rod on the master cylinder. or even the carpet or foreign materials near the pedal.

The arm or throw out bearing is probably hanging up inside the bell housing. You will need to replace the clutch assy.
