my clutch Latest

my clutch up-date

i got a rebuild kit for my master cylinder
and it turns out its the wrong kit, even
though i ordered the right one for my
"unmarked" casing....mine isnt the "cup"
type seal, but the thinner one...

so ,today i took out the "new" seal and put
the old one back in, bleed it by holding
the master up far as it would go and pumped
the air out, and the clutch works
, but fades after a few seconds...
i noticed pumping it up helped somewhat.
it also makes a "click" sound sometimes.....

im assuming i still need a master kit....
any suggestions? ......z
 
Re: my clutch up-date

zimmy... do you have a brake cylinder hone? I'd run that thru the M/C slowly to get a 45* cross-hatch similar to what you would want in an engine bore before installing another seal. If the bore is shiny-slick the new seal will never seat.

Just a thought.
