[6pack] 1. Clutch Cylinder (James_)

[COLIN THOM]

Your issue may not be hydraulic. Are you certain that your release mechanism is working properly? Your story tells of a firm pedal and also a soft pedal, which could indicate air in the system. Were this the brake circuit, I'd be considering that strongly. However, because the clutch system is an easy one to bleed, and you seem convinced that you've bled it well, we have to wonder about the mechanics. First, have someone depress the clutch pedal while you watch the release lever. Does it move backwards about 1/2 -3/4 "? If it does, then your hydraulics are fine and the pin that holds the release fork to the release lever may have sheared. This is not uncommon and the feel of it can be erratic. Sometimes the pedal feels OK, and sometime's it doesn't...even when the system is bled. The end result, however, is that the release fork is not moving far enough to release the clutch.

Can a clutch cylinder be bad even if it isn?t leaking and still pumps some fluid to the slave? I am wondering if the pressure is too weak. 

This issue with no clutch should be incredibly straightforward. Bleed and go. 
I hate throwing money and not knowing but then again, only two components to point at the cause. 
Right? 
Maybe I need to localize the bleeding (bench bleed each cylinder) and then hook up the lines and bleed again. 

I guess if I still have issues I?ll rebuild my cylinder ... or buy a new one!
