Rich Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 posted on behalf of a friend. TT6 with Rps street max clutch and Rps flywheel. he took the car out the other day and once the car was warm it started refusing to go into gear and the box is now incredibly more notchy than normal. the clutch has only done 2000 miles and was fine before.the gear oil has been checked and there is plenty in there,the clutch has plenty of meat left on it. Could this possibly be a slave cyclinder issue?there is no signs of any leaks coming from the slave. any help is much appreciated thanks , Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 You may need to re adjust the bite point, the peddle may have been adjusted to compensate for wear, so you may not have enough travel to fully disengage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 is it all gears or just some gears (like 2nd, 4th and 6th)? JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 is it all gears or just some gears (like 2nd, 4th and 6th)? JB all the gears when the car is standing and when driven its them all particularly 1st and 2nd gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I have never had much luck with RPS clutches, it's a common problem, but others swear BY them, and not, like me, AT them. I have found some are apparently based on re ground pressure plates,as they measure thinner than stock, which alters the geo of the clutch, making them require more release travel than the stock master and slave cylinder can supply.

Chris Wilson Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 would a stock toyota pressure plate cure the problem/stand up to the power etc. ? I do an uprated cover assembly that will hold about 20% more torque than stock, you use it with a stock friction plate and bearing. They are based on brand new genuine OE covers, not re-machined ones. Never had an issue with them freeing save for one that was fitted elsewhere and mysteriously I found a nut had got into the cover and jammed the diagphram, stopping it releasing. I will only supply AND fit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
