where is your clutch?

[ZIZZ]

hi....
i have problem with clutch,

i did a conversion from TDI to ABF and everything is ok, but one thing (i think)

i have to push the clutch ALL THE WAY DOWN because it's 'working' on the floor.. and when i release clutch, its working from the floor....
on the tdi, it was at about half... because of the hydraulic clutch... on abf it's hydraulic too?
how does your clutch work?

sorry bout bad english, i hope you know what i mean

have u tried bleeding the clutch? did u keep the gearbox the same? or have u swaped engine with gearbox?

[ZIZZ]

i tried to bleed clutch but nothing, still the same...

the gearbox is from abf.. did the whole motor from one car to another.....

The clutch may just have a lower biting point on the abf.

[ZIZZ]

okay, lower... but this is so low it's on the metal... i dont know if this is normal.....

The biting point can be very low on a brand new clutch.

How did you bleed the clutch?  Did you do it under pressure?

tnx 100quattro

2mrturner: we pumped it several times (about 10) and then bleed it... and few times like that....
like doing brakes (bleeding).. is there any other way? tnx

[MrTurner]

Yes mate - get a pressure bleeding kit.  You attach one end of the bleeding kit to compressed air (a spare tyre or one of the tyres on the car - which you'll need to re-pump), attach the kit to the fluid resovoir and hey presto.

I changed my gearbox last week and bleed the clutch after.  Before the pedal was on the floor (didn't even bother to start the car), now it is better than ever.

Give it a try, the pressure bleeding kit is £16 from halfords.
