slight shift issues
 

i just put a new clutch and slave cyl in the car and now i am having some problems shifting and if i dont burry the clutch pedal to the floor sometimes it wants to stall out. any ideas?

clutch
 

I actually ran into this issue yesterday at work...but on a subaru legacy. after what we thought was a thorough bleed of the clutch line it turned out there was a little hidden air in the system. My advice would be to BLEED THE CRAP out of it over and over again. if after a reasonable time if it still isn't working i would suspect perhaps the clutch fork was bent (unlikely) or maybe the flywheel is too thin if you had it machined. sorry if i missed something it's late haha hopefully this is somewhat helpful

i just found a guy that a friend knows and he is apparently a supra guru and he was saying change the tranny fluid. im still gonna bleed the clutch cause it felt better with the old slave cyl then the new one.

He is an idiot if he thinks the gear oil is going to affect the slave cylinder not moving far enough. I just love it when someone meets a supra guru.... he's not from Texas is he?



EDIT: Just saw you mentioned "stage 2 clutch" in your sig... is this whole setup new? If so, specifically what clutch kit did you install and what was in to begin with? Up graded clutches generally require more foot pressure and don't slip as readily as OEM. (Changing gear oil still has nothing to do with this... although it's not a bad idea in its own right. ;) )

he was saying could be low or needed to be changed. sorry if i miss lead on anything. im not trying to sound like an idiot on anything but im new to supras, imports, etc. what could it be? if i remember right it was an exedy clutch if that sounds right. the box was black and with purple designs. also if it helps i was driving yesterday and if i press the clutch in and then act like im going to shift but let it hover over the gear i want it will actually slide in w/o grinding. im just looking for help.

Well, saying idiot was harsh and I'm not saying you're one either. I didn't hear precisely what your friend said, so I have no idea you merely misheard or misunderstood.

Androidrc is right, start with bleeding the system then adjust the clutch pedal.

Replacing the gear oil inside the transmission is a good idea; It doesn't affect clutch engagement, but it does help make for smoother shifting.

ok cool ill try this out if its dry tomorrow.
