Man, excellent photos. We'll get back to that.
Your main issue is common. You have air in the system. You've described the symptom perfectly. If you already know how to bleed the system, just go for it. If not, we'll take the time to explain it. The jiggle in your bearings is normal. I'd almost be willing to bet that your old TOB (the first one you jiggle in your video) is still actually serviceable. Of course use the brand new one but for the sake of understanding how it functions, the only thing that matters is whether or not it makes any noise while spinning loaded. Say, for instance, you stuck it in a vice and set a brake rotor on top of it like a turntable. If you gently spun the rotor and heard even the slightest bit of white noise, it's done.

Also, I assume it's just over time that air will get into the system? As for bleeding, small tube on the bleed valve with a jar and depress until no more air bubbles, right? Should I take the opportunity to upgrade to DOT4? At this point, I'm really not sure it it was the TOB or fork that was making the noise. Maybe it was both and I just managed to stumble across the fork issue at the same time. I'm quite glad I finally tore it apart again and got it fixed. There's definitely a level of confidence I feel with regards to dissembling things now. Though, this platform is quite easy to deal with, as I'm now seeing. I'm guessing you're right about the OEM TOB being serviceable, but it's not like it's going back in the car ever again. We'll have to see how long until this current TOB holds out. Thanks again, and I'd at least like to know your thoughts on bleeding; furthermore, why air in the system causes high rpm limpi-ness like that.

Ugh, no. I didn't read closely enough. Hell, I missed most of it. Long day of driving, impressed with photos, video... forgive me.
First thought after a SECOND quick read was that it was some sort of vibration kicking back the tob. Then by the third read I got to the bottom where I see you came to the same conclusion. I'm going to just throw this back to clear the air, and then I'm going to read again, carefully, and think about it.

Have you ever adjusted your clutch grab point? It's a unique situation but it almost sounds like the pressure plate is being over centralized. Could be a possible adjustment is needed, maybe @Ultramaroon could chime in on this possibility. I am no clutch expert, just offering something I had read a while back on a ford forum.

https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=507918 https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/sho....php?t=2088183 This seems to be a thing that, until tonight, I've never heard of. I also call bullshit on all the theories about leaky slave and air. I think it's kickback but I don't know why. I suggest having a friend rev it for you while you actually have hands on the fork. If it's kicking back you WILL be able to: 1. With the engine off, simulate it and get a feel for how much it's kicking back by just squeezing the fork by hand. 2. Measure it by being clever with a caliper. 3. Reproduce it by revving the engine in neutral at a standstill. This is brand new to me. I can only tell you what I would try. All of your previous observations are spot on. I was an idiot for skimming over it.

1. Needs to clear the relief valve for self adjustment. (check) 2. Needs to fully disengage the clutch (check) But I feel ya. I'm baffled.

After doing a brief literature search ...... it appears that this is not an unusual situation ..... and without a definite fix. Some of the more popular attempts are to:
* completely flush the hydraulic clutch system and replace the fluid * adjust the clutch * replace the master and slave cylinders and lines * replace the pressure plate because, it has weak fingers Question: You mentioned you replaced the clutch ..... did you replace the pressure plate also .. ?? My first hand clutch experience was only when engines wouldn't go over 4000 rpms (not more that once at least .....), so. I'm not much help. If you're sure that their isn't air in the system or it's not gummed up ..... I wouldn't worry about it...... just push the clutch all the way to the floor when shifting at higher rpms. humfrz |

Alright. After not enough sleep, let's get back into this.
Quote:
That being said, how, or WHAT, is happening under there that's causing the engagement point to change through the pedal? Mechanically speaking we've got the flywheel>clutch disk>pressure plate>TOB>fork all connected via input shaft. High rpms in gear, the entire assembly is spinning at that rpm. The only separate assembly is the fork and TOB. The only thing that would change the catch position is the displacement of the TOB to the pressure plate, so somewhere along the lines they are getting separated at higher rpm, possibly. I don't know... Oh boy, not enough coffee yet. Is high rpm vibration causing the retaining spring behind the fork to not push the TOB against the pressure plate tines? As to your points: 1) With the engine off, I think the problem won't exist as at idle, the catch location is where it should be. I'll try it though. 2) Am I to measure the travel the top edge of the fork has, or how much space I can create if I pull the fork into the slave shaft thereby creating a void between the TOB and PP? 3) I'll definitely need to try revving it since your links say it should be reproduce-able given neutral revs. Quote:
While I'm sure parts can be defective and go bad (my last TOB after <year), I don't wanna go changing out master/slave cylinders just yet. I do want to see if adjusting the clutch pedal downwards any makes the catch point unreachable since my current point is so high in the travel. I will likely still bleed the system, as it probably needs it after 2.5 years, just to make sure. While I know the workaround is just dealing with a "shifty" clutch pedal and flooring it to shift, I prefer not having that kinda chaos/problem if I'm ever in an autocross/track position. Added complexity with shifting and floating catch points isn't something I want to deal with when driving fast or for autosports. That's just asking for an unsettling "clutch kick" drift to happen, which, while fun, wouldn't be ideal for most situations. I will call my clutch manufacturer to see if they can provide any insight, as I'm sure someone there has heard or seen of this at some point, but I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. Thanks for all the info, guys. Sorry this has turned into a hypothetical rant as to the mechanics of a clutch system and my inexperience. I do hope I can at least help whomever happens across this problem next by getting it figured out.

@Ultramaroon
Reading through some of those posts you linked again. The bimmerforums one. I absolutely don't believe over-torquing a pressure plate would cause this. It shouldn't be moving axially, only spinning with the flywheel, so I call bullshit on that. The miata one provides some interesting insight. Not sure why the PP tines/fingers would "give out" at high rpm. They're just flat springs that are spinning. I can't imagine the centripetal force they see would cause them to buckle or weaken at higher rpm. The nasioc one just details the problem, but I'm glad I'm not the only one having it.

Just not bleed the system but flush it with new fluid. That may not fix the situation, but is sure as heck won't hurt anything .... humfrz |

So, turkey baster on the reservoir, new fluid in, gravity bleed, or is getting help from a friend to pump the clutch easier?

So, I hooked it up like a normal brake caliper bleed, and the order of operations was: helper pressurizes the line (pedal down). open slave bleeder. close slave bleeder. helper raises the pedal with their toe. check master reservoir level. repeat. Once the pedal is picked back up, the master cylinder will suck down some fluid from the reservoir. |
