I just went through a rebuild and installed the engine last night and drove it for the first time today. I cleaned up and regreased the shaft and TOB while I had it accessible and the damn thing is squeaking today. So I may end up dropping my tranny in the near future. Yay. |

Have you tried making a clutch pedal adjustment ?
By rotating the the master cylinder push rod so that it threads out of the clevis it will move more fluid to the slave cylinder and will actuate the clutch further. If the disc is dragging slightly it will not allow for easy shifting in 1st. This adjustment is easy and can be done if just a few minutes. The best tip I can give is to unbolt the throttle pedal to give you unobstructed access to the jam nut and rod. Below is a video I made to explain how the pedal adjustment plays a role on the fork movement.

pilot bearing failure??
also if you don't want to adjust your clutch to test it just wedge a piece of wood or a small nut between the the clutch fork and rod to shim it out a bit then see if its helps. if it does adjust accordingly if not time for a teardown inspection.

I suspected that it wasn't the throw depth. Drag symptoms occured regardless of the throw depth. The clutch appears to have plenty of dead pedal throw length. The transmission seems to be able to spin down if I have my foot to the floor. However, Drag reappears when I release to the friction point. The throw depth from floor to friction point is pretty long (as is usual for FRS/BRZ platform) Quote:
I'm thinking pilot or throw out bearing at this point. I don't think it's pressure plate or flywheel related since I'm not grinding at all. Everything seems fine at speed. Just when I'm stopped, I'm having obvious issues. Planning on pulling within the next couple of months. To investigate. Appreciate any further feedback Last edited by EndlessAzure; 07-15-2018 at 05:58 AM. |

Update:
Drove on it for a few more months without any real improvement. Also noticed some screeching coming from the bell housing when the system was hot from spirited driving, in gear, in motion, and on a downhill. A couple of weeks ago, I pulled out the ACT clutch kit and re-installed the OEM clutch kit. I haven't had any problems since. Upon initial visual inspection of the ACT kit, nothing appeared wrong with it. Throw out bearing and pilot bearing spun free. No damage on the input shaft I sent to back to ACT for evaluation, and they say they didn't find anything wrong with it either. They seem to think it's the clutch hydraulic system/supporting components on the car. Might have been a spline grease issue. In the end, nothing conclusive. I'll keep the OE kit in the car a while and do another clutch job when I feel like I need to. I likely won't put the ACT kit back on the car. |

Sorry for reviving this thread but I am having the exact same issue here. I've bled the master cylinder checked the inspection ports and see nothing wierd, no loose bolts and throw out bearing is doing as it should. Has anyone solved this problem or do I have to buy a new clutch I just bought it this year and haven't had any problems for like 7 to 10k miles.

Same problem here. Mine is a little different though. For me the problem occurred right after someone installed a clutch for me it took about two days for it to start giving me issues. I went back and had the throwout bearing changed but to no avail. I ended up just driving the car like that until my engine blew, at that point I simply put a new clutch in and was good to go.
But again six months later, I was having the same exact issue again. So what ended up doing at that point was flushing the brake fluid which seemed to help a lot. However, after leaving it idle in my driveway for about 10 minutes I went to engage the gears again and it was locked out on me. Already tried clutch pedal adjustment as well. Added, there is also something strange going on while coming to a stop at red lights I'm feeling some sort of clunking right before coming to a complete stop. I thought it was the brakes getting stuck at first so I accelerated in first gear and let it roll up to about 10 miles an hour then drop back down to 0 and it still gave me that weird clunking right before complete stop. Weird and annoying, but I got used to driving it this way. |

The clunking sounds like it could be a U joint.

I solved my problem by replacing the clutch with the south bend stage 2 daily. Works PERFECT, feels like a new car

Sry to bother, but I'm Having exactly same issue as OP for 2 months now. I have no where to turn to, so I made my first post.
Hi Everyone! Long time reader first time poster. I have about 1.5k miles on the clutch. ACT XT STREET CLUTCH KIT (NORMAL FW)at the time of replacing the clutch I also installed VERUS FORGED 4130 CLUTCH FORK . and replaced throw-out bearing. Driving for an hour and the system gets warm enough I'm having trouble to get into gears from dead stop. All the gears. Really annoying when parallel parking. The reverse gear feel like none existent as if something is completely blocking it and cannot even force it. I play around from 3rd to 2nd to first then to reverse if it lets me. after a minute or so I get into the gear. I tried adjusting the clutch pedal but the problem still persists. my mechanic tells me the clutch itself is the problem. Really don't know which clutch to go with now. Was hoping to get a decent upgrade but now got a headache. Do other clutches cause similar issues ? Can anyone recommend anything? |
