Clutch Pedal - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #39749 7 posts Started by Dunners
Hey guy's,
Just wondering if anyone else's clutch pedal is hard to push in. I've never really noticed it but I drove a mates toyota the other day and his was so easy. Is there anything that determines how hard it is to push down or if i could make it any easier? thanks for your help.
My clutch is also hard to push in??? at least much harder than any other 5spd ive ever driven

Same w/ my 94' ST. I drove a buddies 6 speed 00' Celica and a 6 speed 05' Sentra Spec-R, both had feather light clutch pedals.
On the ST205 you can adjust the pedal but this has just to do with the engage point that you want to give to your clutch (high or low),i think you can do this adjustment also on the ST202 pedal.
I dont know if this will help but i changed my clutch (ACT Organic Disc and ACT Pressure plate) with ORC409 Super Single Kit last week and i feel my clutch very light!!!Using the ACT was very hard to push the pedal,i m also using Cusco Cross Mission Oil.
ours is hard to push in because mainly its a hydrolic clutch rather than a cabel clutch. Also, depending on how heavy of a pressure plate you have, it makes it harder. my buddies 180sx from japan has a a stage 3 race clutch in it and his clutch feels like its broken. You know when you pump the breaks with the car off??..thats what his clutch feels like all the time. But at the same time also due to the way our clutch lines run to the tranny, it makes it stiffer too. I know 95% of my friends power shift the car or rev it and dump the clutch because they cant find the release point or get used to hydro clutching. Personaly, i like it stiffer.
try changing your master and slave cyilinder i did mine. and its alote eazyer to push in.
I had a problem before where my clutch wouldn't even grab. The clutch was very easy to press in at the time. But once I took it to the shop, they replaced my clutch as well as resurfaced fly wheel, my clutch has been hard to press in. To me that is a sign saying that the clutch is good and strong. biggrin.gif
