Post subject:  Clutch issues

Hi all,
Just wonderingif any one has had trouble bleeding their clutch on a 2.0 l vitara 97 model. Finally got it all back together, new clutch put in. I can get all gears except reverse, it just grinds. I have adjusted the play at the pedal and it is maxed out. I have bleed the clutch several times with no luck, thought there might be a secret??
Any thoughts, i dont want to pull the box off if i can avoid it.

Cheers
Cozzy

Are you gravity bleeding or pressure ( ie, pushing clutch in then cracking the nipple)

did you put a new clutch kit in it?

there are 2 different thrust bearings available as mentioned in this thread.

considering you only unbolt the 2 bolts on the slave to do the clutch (not cracking any fluid lines) , i suspect you had a issue before replacing the clutch.
\
If this is the case and you had a similar issue before replacing it , i would be looking at the actual clutch pedal . Where the clevis of the master cylinder attaches to pedal there is a clevis pin and where this goes through the pedal there is a bush . From my experience in the past , the bush wears out , then the hole in the pedal elongates and also wears the clevis pin , giving far too much free travel before the pedal actuates the master cylinder. hence the clutch does not disengage fully.

Just for info, pulled the box off and what to you know, the new throw out bearing was 6 mm shorter then the old one. Rang CBC and gave them the old bearings serial number and got a new one sent up and this one is 5 mm longer then the old one. Put it in and bang, got heaps !!!!!!!!! of clutch.....Buyer beware
