Default clutch pedal goes when reving high...

hi all

when i decide to use high revs, going up a slip road or whatever the clutch pedal seems to want to stay close to the floor. normal driving is fine no problems at all. only high revs it happens.

any ideas?

Thanks

Rich

If biting point is really low then that's normally a sign of a NEW!!! healthy clutch.

But you're saying that it goes really low ONLY when under a lot of load at high revs right? Is the clutch actually slipping when it does this? Do the revs rise disproportionally more than the road speed gained?

have you tried bleeding the clutch. release the nipple under the intercooler and get someone to push the pedal down. then tighten the nipple and pull the clutch up off of the floor (it will stick down).

not slipping in the slightest and the biting point is good and low. when the pedal is down low on the high revs it still works well but only minimal movement.

thanks
