Hey guys i was wondering if there were anymore reliable slave cylinders i could use with an ACT 2600lb clutch. It just doesnt seem to put enough power out to slow mine down. Any suggestions or good ones you guys are using

I'm using the OEM and it works just fine. Are you having disengagement issues?

 

[Stew Pidaso]

yeah because it feels like after im engaging the clutch it takes a while for it to stop spinning so by the time i get it into gear im almost at idle. Very rarely it grinds going in but could that be the syncros just not working right???

How is the clutch pedal free play?

 

[Stew Pidaso]

ummm there really is none...as soon as you put your foot onto the pedal and start to depress the clutch you can feel it

 

[ET93]

So when your shifting does it feel like there's a wall in front of the gear? Then after it lowers rpm it is able to shift?

 

[Stew Pidaso]

yes!...what does that indicate

Do you have it adjusted properly?

 

[Stew Pidaso]

yes... i can feel a little play in the slave itself and its bled correctly and everything but its exactly how ET93 describes it.

My friend just had the same issues in his Honda. It wasn't a disengagement issue his tranny took a dump on him. He's extremely hard on it and ended up destroying 2nd gear. The guy he took it to a shop and they put new gears and supposedly put new syncros in it gave it back and it still had the original issue. The mechanic then thought it was the shift fork so he pulled it again and replaced it and still didn't fix it. He ended up replacing everything in the tranny. I don't have a whole lot of insite on it but that's all I know. Was just trying to break it down to make it easier for someone who might know what your issue is.

So you dont know like what it means when it feels like there is that wall before the gear engages? And would there be anyway to widen my throws from side to side because my throw to the left is soo small compared to my right and I know that I have accidentally grabbed second trying to go to forth and i'm just roasting the piss outta my engine when i do that.

 

[Stew Pidaso]

Does anyone know what that wall feeling means before going into gear and how to fix it?

 

[DSM Loki]

Your clutch isn't disengaging all the way. That "wall" is the blocker ring, doing its job.

 

[Stew Pidaso]

Yeah i knew the clutch wasn't disengaging all the way. With this blocker ring, does that always happen because I've never felt that in a dsm before.

 

[DSM Loki]

Yes, that's the whole point of a synchronized transmission. You need to fix the disengagement issue and the trans will shift just fine again. Have you tried adjusting the master cylinder properly according to : http://teamrip.com/clutch_pedal_adjustment_info.html

Do that and report back.

 

[Stew Pidaso]

Sorry for delay. It was just the clutch was heated like crazy and the springs weren't absorbing the pressure they should have. Put a 2600 in now and shifts like butter.
