add heywood Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 So I have a small problem when shifting gears at high rpm on the rex... Seems that when I press the clutch down it doesn't disengage fully and its difficult to take out of gear until the revs drop. It means I cant do quick gear changes on a high rpm pull. It drives fine at lower rpm and I have no problem selecting gears etc at around town speeds. Just to ad if I put it in 1st with the clutch pressed in the car doesn't pull forward at all, but if i then rev the car to the limit with my foot still on the clutch it seems the clutch starts to drag and the car wants to move forwards slightly. I recently changed the clutch master cylinder for a brand new one, and bled the system using the 2 man method. I'm running Exedy clutch (unsure if single plate or twin) with push pull converter, very similar to what the Supras use. Is it something to do with clutch adjustment? Something that can be fixed without taking the gearbox off etc... Cheers Add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Could be adjustment, could be one of those clutches which are just junk, and their geometry is such they won't fully release once they get a bit worn. Check the slave cylinder, if that's OK you are probably looking at removing the clutch for examination or renewal. Giken is your friend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Cheers for the reply Chris... I may have to look into a new clutch if I cant sort it as I've a feeling I'm going to munch my gearbox if it keeps on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Yes, it needs sorting, a dragging clutch gives the synchros in the box a REALLY hard time and they wear like hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
