searched, didnt find. Sorry if this issue has been posted elsewhere....
20,000 Miles ago I purchased a "LSJ clutch upgrade" from ZZ performance
It came with the upgraded slave/throw out bearing, stronger pressure plate and clutch disk.
Installed I noticed the clutch was very difficult to disengage, released when all the way to the floor and even then was dragging, making shifting difficult.
The pedal had a lot of play but hydraulic lines had no air, so later I purchased an Adjustable master cylinder from ZZP as well
Installed, re-bled and immediately noticed a difference.
Over time however, the clutch began to drag again and it became harder to shift.
A few weeks ago it finally quit as I shifted into reverse to back into my parking space at home.
I knew it was dying from the sounds it would make after the clutch disengages the hours prior.
Clutch pedal feels like it has full pressure, no leaks and no lost fluid seen. But will not release from the engine....
If it was the master cylider which failed, would the pedal still feel stiff? I tried pumping the pedal to build pressure to no avail....
From what I've read, these Slave Cylinders can be ruined by over-extending them. ZZP makes a 1/4 inch spacer for mounting the TOB which may Be beneficial ensuring it is not over-extension causing the failure
Ive been struggling with clutch drag since the new clutch was installed anyone else have the issue before? Stock clutch cant really hold the pressure I need it to...
Recap for clarity: NO LEAKS, NO AIR IN SYSTEM, Clutch drags then eventually stopped disengaging (slave cyl travel not adequate to fully release pressure plate?)
Drivetrain mods: Upgraded TOB/Slave, Adjustable clutch master cyl, "LSJ clutch upgrade" (features stronger than stock pressure plate)
Thanks for any info.
Will be ordering parts and re-doing the clutch in a week. Will post results if nothing comes back on here.
