Club 80-90 Forums

for a few weeks now every so often my clutch pedal will go straight to the floor and wen i release the bite is at the bottom keep meaning to ask my mate about this and forget so while i remember thought id ask you lot.
steve shaw had my van a couple of weeks ago and said my clutch bite was at the top and may need changing is this why its doin wot its doin?? if so how much is a new clutch 1.9dg cheers any info would be great

Hi Rob gotta replace the cluth in me new bus aswell bite is right at the top like yours GSF quote around 70-80 quid for a kit have alook on www.gsf.co.uk

cheers stef i thought with them bein hydrolic not cable it adjusts itself sort of speak and doesnt make a difference were bite is

Yeh it must adjust itself but as the clutch plate wears down it takes longer to release or so i understand it hows the missus and kids she recovered from you spending all that money on them there blinging wheels

Have you checked the fluid level lately??????

eh now theres a thought were is it located?? and does it have a max/min mark?? and if low whats the best to put into it?? cheers matey

eh now theres a thought were is it located??

behind the dash clocks ... grab the cowl and pull hard , and there it is in the middle

I had exactly this on my camper and all I had to do was bleed the clutch system and the pedal was back to normal.The only thing was for the first couple of pedal strokes I had to manually pull the pedal up with my hand and then it sprung up quite happily! Remember to keep that reservoir topped up or you@ll suck air back in. If it happens again I'd suspect you've got leaking seals in your clutch master clinder. Does your low brake fluid light work?(Same as hand-brake warning light) Test by pushing down on plunger on reservoir cap with ignition on and hand-brake off.
Hope this helps a bit.

cheers for that mate is there any reason it should go like that?? may just change the cylinder any how as it may be leaking somewhere have checked fluid level and is fine at the max mark so may just top it up and see wot happens steve is gonna do the cylinder for me next week all goin well

Eh up Rob did you get the clutch sorted just trying to find ways of getting out of replacing the clutch on mine
