Clutch effectiveness 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be Laurence Hoffman on  Wed Nov 22 06:29 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hi All,

I had a new clutch fitted 12 months ago and it works fine.

I have however noticed since then that the clutch takes up more quickly than it used to. By the time the pedal is only an inch off the floor, the clutch is engaging.

Is hydraulic failure a problem with manual 240s? ie Do I need a fluid change? The pedal doesnt seem to pump up so I discounted the need for bleeding.

Thanks

US 240s use a cable clutch. If your car is righty drive with a hydraulic

clutch then maybe you need the clutch bled. Even though it doesn't pump

up deoesn't mean the fluid is OK. The fluid in there could be ancient and horrid. There may also be an adjustment on the arm that connects the

clutch master cylinder to the pedal. Try checking that adjustment, also.

That may be all it needs. The arm that attaches to the pedal is an adjustable clevis.
