December 14, 200915 yr Author comment_303236 Hi! Thanks for the great advices, ill try those all in this week. I was visiting Latvia past weekend and Z stayed home The screw in the master cylinder (one that holds hardline) is stuck so i got some work to open it. Clutch pedal has no resistance at all but it returns back normally. I see no bubbles but liquid is moving normally. If i press rapidly with cap open, it overflows. Slave piston is not stuck, as i wrote, slave is brand new. There is just enough pressure to make it move, as i have seen while bleeding.

December 15, 200915 yr comment_303349 I suppose it was working before, i just recently bought the car and it has been standing for about 1year. Clutch was in this condition. Idaho, that's one of three different methods i tried. I've only replaced slave cylinder cause it was wasted and was rusted stuck. Now I think it's possible that with all that rust the throwout bearing is seized on the housing. Steel + aluminum+ moisture = battery. So the fork can still move but the bearing can't. Maybe you can look through the boot hole and see.

So the fork can still move but the bearing can't. Maybe you can look through the boot hole and see.I think what you'd be looking for if this were the case is a split throwout fork (not unheard of). That's a hell of a lot of pressure to put on the fork, and it isn't that flexible. I'm still thinking the master is bad or the adjustment at the pedal is F'ed up. I just can't see it being anything else.

December 15, 200915 yr comment_303378 Clutch pedal has no resistance at all but it returns back normally. I see no bubbles but liquid is moving normally. If i press rapidly with cap open, it overflows. That is because the seals on the piston in your Clutch Master Cylinder are shot - fluid that is supposed to be pressurized into the line, is leaking past the piston and getting pushed back up into the reservoir - - Replace the Master.:stupid: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/34070-total-clutch-frustration/?&page=2#findComment-303378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 15, 200915 yr comment_303399 i'd agree with Carl, sounds like it's bypassing the seal. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/34070-total-clutch-frustration/?&page=2#findComment-303399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 16, 200915 yr Author comment_303448 Ok, master might be shot. I'll order one and replace it (btw any1 has extra master for sale?) heres small and bad quality video about master with hardline off Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/34070-total-clutch-frustration/?&page=2#findComment-303448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
