PatO Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I bled the system and it helped shifting a tad but made no real difference to the noticeable creep when in first gear and the clutch pedal is pushed to the floor. On level ground and no brakes on it will creep a bit sometimes but not all of the time. A light brake will hold it and there is no change on the tach when the brake is applied. I'm going assume that the hydraulic throwout bearing is not doing its full job but I think I will bleed it one more time just in case. Any comments are welcome but sometime soon I will be taking it to a shop to be figured out. It's not the original clutch/ pressure plate but it might have 100K on it. Thanx for your time and hard earned experience. Pat P.S. I turned 166666 miles today!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 bleed some more and if that doesnt fix it, replace master/slave. had the same thing with mine with a new clutch installed so it wasnt the bearing. swapped both master and slave at the same time so not sure which one was the cause but it cured it.

Geonovast Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Don't discount a seizing pilot bushing/bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatO Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Yes that pilot bushing has been trouble in the past, other symptoms might point to that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
