Notches in clutch travel
Hello guys,
I've noticed that my clutch pedal sometimes has light notches throughout its travel. It doesn't always do it and the clutch pedal may feel perfectly linear one throw, and notchy the next one. The clutch fluid was just changed, though the car was already doing this before. I think it's become a little more obvious as the fluid change helped make the clutch lighter. TOB was changed 1.5 years / 20k ago as part of a cam plate repair (sic.). Car is a 2013 with 50k on the clock. I've already had such issues on a previous car, which were caused by the clutch fork bushing having become contaminated with dirt / debris. Removing, cleaning and greasing it had solved the issue permanently. Has anyone attempted such a fix on the twins? And if yes would I be able to do this without bleeding the clutch? Is this a common issue? Best regards, Alex |

Well that sucks.
And yes some one out there did make a hydraulic replacement unit that does away with the TOB and fork. Well my only guess is the clutch master cylinder is toast. Not sure if a replacement is worth the time and effort.

This is a common problem on all cars. If the dirt gets into the grease on the shaft or dries out then it’s going to feel notchy. You can try cleaning the fork externally and then reapply the grease but most likely you will need to drop the tranny and clean up the whole shaft. You will not need to bleed the system to do this job.
Another cause of a notchy feel could be pockets of air in the line cause by a bad master or slave. Is your fluid dark? If so then the rubber seals in the master or slave are going bad. |

The hydraulic TOB sure seems like a nice solution, but buying and installing will be $$$$. I was hoping to just clean the bellhousing bushing the fork rotates on, which would pretty much be a free repair. Basically the articulation point for this part: |

The notchiness (not sure if thats a word) of the pedal was happening after i adjusted the clutch pedal back to the stockish position. I adjusted it back to a low engagement point (clutch pedal about 2-5mm above the brake pedal) and havn't had the notchy crunchy feel in the pedal ever since. Definitely not a fix.

Haven't noticed it in the 60,000 or so miles since it was replaced.
