[Mk2] [Generic] Clutch not releasing

Post by NDR008 »

Hi all. The problem is on my track/ touge car. SW 20 GTS rev3.
It has an ORC clutch and celica alltrac 2nd to 4th gears.

After about 1500miles of driving the clutch began to drag after driving.
It would be fine cold. But little driving and drag. Making it hard or impossible to downshift without blipping the throttle.

Then I bled the thing. No change. Then I adjusted the pedal. Did 600miles of track day - no problem.

Now 500miles later it is starting to act up again. When cold OK. Warm up and drag.

Can't spot leaks either.

When did the problem start in terms of replaced clutch or gearbox?

No specific event. The gearbox was overhauled with a new clutch around 5000miles ago. Oil change 1000miles ago or so.

checked the pushrod on the back off the pedal?

If this doesn't have some slack you'll be holding the clutch open a tiiny bit all the time. Worth checking. give same symptons.
