Shadow. · 02-24-2009, 12:08 AM

you guys shoulda hit me up, coulda showed those foos whats up with the MR2s i was right by there!

Shadow. · 02-24-2009, 12:33 AM

been doing some readings on the forums about tranny problems and i think i just need to 'adjust my clutch pedal' to allow it to have more throw. I know my clutch i have to push it allllll the way down to the floor literally to be able to not stall and then it doesnt even come all the way up (about 75% of the way then i use the side of my shoe to pull it up the rest)

anyone have some detailed instructions or know a write up or want to help me do it? =]

thanks for the help!

maybe ur missing a spring that connects the clutch petal and a metal bar

Mark_Dorman · 02-24-2009, 01:00 AM

Maybe you need to bleed your clutch line

Or you need a new clutch...dun dun dun...but probably not.

Cjung · 02-24-2009, 01:03 AM

every1 needs to push the petal all the way, even i do, but my clutch petal comes back up

just take a look underneigh and you will see a spring in the brake petal, same thing should b there for the clutch,

if its not that its what mark suggested

yes yes bleeding my clutch tomorrow or weds.

SUPPOSEDLY the car has a stage 3 clutch, im saying if you release the clutch even a few millimeters before giving some gas, STALL.

Ill check this clutch spring tomorrow.

Another thing i noticed on the clutch pedal assembly, right above the pedal there is a bar which is connected to another bar with a bolt/nut combo. I noticed every time the clutch is pushed and comes back up it loosens the nut a very small amount. What am i missing or whats supposed to be there?

So TO DO list to fix stupid clutch/tranny:
bleed clutch
check for spring
adjust the clutch (how do we adjust guys)
Pressure Plate
Throwout Bearing

if still not fixed - slit wrists

hopefully just a bleed will do it tho

You know it could be that the previous owner set it up that way. I see it a lot on street/race cars even when I was big on sportbikes. Car/motorcycle race enthusiast set their clutch low that way so it engages right away when you remove your feet even just a little bit just as you described above. My brother's AE86 is the same way just as the mustang I worked on 2 weeks ago. The guy on the mustang has his car setup as drag tho and daym his clutch is so stiff and it engages early too when you put your feet off just a bit.

No problem.

Let me know when so I know when to go out of town

LoL.... j/k... no problem at all. Just have a cherry picker this time around. Its been a while since I drop a whole engine up and this was on my first car. I'd like to be able to finally drop an mr2 engine down

xltinlx · 02-24-2009, 01:52 AM

yep i fixed the gay window/lock problem.. but my door light is out.. i dont know why! :[

Mark_Dorman · 02-24-2009, 01:58 AM

^Did you plug it back in

. Just kidding...maybe the light bulb blew?

I'm pretty sure the symptoms are not indicative of needing a new clutch...I just thought it'd be fun to see the reaction. It's probably just in need of an adjustment...

masagsxr · 02-24-2009, 02:05 AM

which is why I reacted on it

..... I'd do it again tho.. On a "SATURDAY" this time hehehehe

Mark_Dorman · 02-24-2009, 02:19 AM

Yeah...me too...definitely starting my engine swap on a friday evening and using the whole weekend to get it done
