staged clutch vs. clutch dampener

[tramp_drift240]

with the blown motor in my car still, the clutch felt like a regular clutch.

swapped my rebuilt motor today with lightweight flywheel and stage III clutch, after replacing the throwout bearing.

now ive only got like half a clutch pedal. is this from the dampener or what?

Well, im going to ask you: Did you try bleeding the clutch? Check the lines?

[tramp_drift240]

nah i havent bled it. figured i didnt disconnect anything in the clutch lines so it should be straight. all the lines are fine, and they worked just this morning.

its like 230 in the morning and i just noticed that i only have half a pedal.

I have heard that having the dampener would cause your pedal to feel that way.

Try opening up the reservoir and slowly pump the clutch pedal.

i hope you got the correct throwout bearing

[tramp_drift240]

yeah its the right throwout. suuuper obvious which one when you hold 'em side by side.

i swapped my clutch master and slave with the new ones from my black coupe, took out the dampener and hooked it all back up. bled the lines, got more pedal than before.

i think i might just need to adjust the fork from the master.

[spooled240]

look at the pedal adjustment if you haven't done so, I had to adjust my pedal after I did my clutch so my clutch would disengage completely.

[tramp_drift240]

thats what i was referring to when i said the "fork"

otherwise, i dont really adjust anything involving the swing of the pedal itself.

and it was all rainy and lame today, so i wasnt able to test it out.
