Title: Clutch pedal won\'t come back up
Post by: Cashpoint on September 19, 2009, 09:22:24 PM
Ok out for a drive pushed the clutch to change gear but the pedal didn\'t come back up. I noticed so fluid under the car the bell housing is so guess something has come off.

Before I venture under the car to see are they any pictures of what i\'m looking for and where about i should be looking as I\'ve no idea?

I had this problem in my first few days of owning my first rex, there is a small pipe that runs from the bulkhead down to the clutch slave cylinder, Its a rubbery type tube which has most likely split, its probably never been replaced. You can buy a goodridge braided replacement of ebay, its fairly easy to replace, just buy a bleeder kit and get under the car !!!:Thumbsup!:Thumbsup!

sounds like the slave has popped out or seals are knackered....take slave out or take off inspection plate on gearbox and take a look....

Lucky for me it\'s the rubbery hose that has burst, unluckly though no where that is open on a sunday has one :( . Found a few goodridge clutch hoses on ebay so should be back come the weekend.

If you cant find the right hose the rx7 fd brake hose will also fit as we did this on my satin rx7 :cheers
