Tubby Clutch

[Markturbo]

i have a tubby and the clutch pedal today has got stuck a couple of times to the floor and to make it come back up you have to get your foot underneath the pedal to make it release

the clutch doesn't seem to be slipping when driving the car but it was wet so haven't floored properly because its been raining today

my clutch died and was slipping like no mans land... but it never got stuck to the floor like you said.

weird.... probably something fairly easy for a local garage to have a look at and fix.

mine squels when you press it down - just the pedal.

Had the clutch repalced 2k ago at 72k (it died big time on the rolling road )

Its not the getting stuck under the mat is it?

This happened to my acc a few times... scary!! :o

ive had a slight problem a few times, in gear 5 when ur just cruisin then decide to put your foot down a bit the revs go flying up to like 5000 but u dont move anything extra, then if u keep ur foot down about 3seconds later it comes back down then picks up from where it should be and the speed kicks in. is this clutch? (im cr4p with engine stuff)

With regards to the original post.. Check to see if the pedal is free of any obstruction... and if you cant see anything obvious.. get it seen to..

MR2Nut... your clutch is on its way out matey.. Unlucky.. new one will be needed very soon me thinks.. esp if you rag the car!

[mr2nut123]

esp if u rag the car...dont like the sound of that ;) LOL. doh! how much is it for a factory standard one? also, whats the price (and make) for a good racing one but on the cheapish side. cheers

Does it happen after you been pretty "lively" on the throttle?

as it's sounds like it's sticking. Which bascially means it's time to buy a new clutch.

Judging by the the way it went you need a helix stage 1 replacement atleast :D

[mr2nut123]

yea it does mate, just after ive given it some in 4th gear (taken over sum chavs in a ****ty nova) and then im cruisin in 5th in low revs, then when they come back for more with their mates legs under the car doin it flintstone style tryin to help the nova past 80 to take over, i put my foot down and it just revs asif uve got your clutch in for about 3 seconds then it drops back to normal and the power comes thru. i dont even have my foot near the clutch either its fully up and my foots restin on the clutch rest to the side.

I got a decent exedy racing clutch from dpmotorsport... does the job and should be able to handle 450bhp.

I would get your clutch seen to soon. It took me ages to get my clutch ( originally ordered from f.sport, then changed supplier ), and my car was a bag of poo. I could hardly accelrate because it was slipping so much !

no... that's for the MK1 mate.

you are looking for a sw20 clutch.

Give them a bell tomorrow, that's the best option. They are nice and freindly people.
