Clutch + Master Cylinder?

**87CelicaGT-S** · 12-10-2007, 01:26 AM

So here is my problem, I have a 1987 Celica GT-S and when I push my clutch in and shift and pull out the clutch I get no push what so ever. It feels like my clutch isn't doing anything at all. I can push my clutch in 3rd gear and take it out almost as fast as I want and I barely even notice my clutch engaging. Do I need a new master cylinder or a new clutch?

Are you losing fluid?
Does the pedal retract or does or stay on the floor?
You may just have a leaky slave or clutch master cylinder.

i dont think its leaking its just extremely soft... i believe its better now, and i replaced my slave already so im guessing it could only be my master... would make sense...

If you replaced the slave already then I'm, assuming you bled all the air out, right?
SPongy pedal may mean some residual air in the system.

yes i bled the clutch, and all that... and its not really obvious...
hopefully everything is fine... i think it is...

I find the clutch pedal in my 89GTS to be very soft too. As long as you can shift and the clutch engages with no issues....
