clutch issues

Bjarker · 07-31-2011, 02:52 PM

So on the way back from jambo my clutch started doing some weird shit. Didn't happen all the time just a hand full of times. but when I'd press the clutch in , it would just go strait to the floor and not want to come back up and it was if I had no clutch once at a stop light. So.......is the clutch gone or maybe just slave?

First step would be to make sure the system still has fluid and is bled properly.

I was getting at the fact that after a wheeling trip you may have pinched/wore through a line. It is more than likely a slave/master issue though.

It's a hydraulic issue for sure. Master or slave. Look up by the clutch pedal and see if the seal is leaking. Also the stock rubber hose wears out. Replaced 2 on 4 runners and mines almost due I believe. I had a stainless one made so I won't have to mess with it again

Cotoy91 may still have his for sale. 25 bucks I think is what hes asking. I could never get to meet with him. I paid 60 at autozone. I think I got a deal on it but i really dont know.

To bleed the slave, just use the gravity bleed method (crack the bleeder valve on the slave, have a beer or 2 while it drains for a few minutes). You can disconnect the slave from the bell housing and have someone step on the clutch to see if the plunger moves. If it doesn't, then it's master or slave, if it does, you could be looking at a new pressure plate or something inside the bell housing.
