clutch dropping - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

doggie504 · 08-11-2008, 08:37 PM

i'm not sure if this jsut happens when a car sits, but after a day or so of not hitting the clutch i have to pump it up 2 times, and it works 100%.

just wondering, and was not sure where to put this

Mine did the same.

The seals in the clutch master cylinder on mine had failed and it was leaking internally. I rebuilt the master cyl. with a $12 kit from NAPA. It works great and was easy to do.

You will need a 10 mm flare crowfoot to get the line off the master cyl. Carquest sells a set of metric crowfoots for $30.

There is no need to buy a new or remanufactured master cylinder for over $100 for OEM or around $45 for made in Taiwan stuff.

The rebuild kit is made in the USA.

The gears will get harder to get into until the system fails completely.

There is no "danger" but you could get stranded somewhere and the pedal will be dead....no getting into any gear or getting out of one you are in.

Worst case....you will stall it and be unable to move in traffic then need a tow home.
