79060, My pt cruiser clutch install... now i have some questions
Posted by ughhhead, Aug-15-04 11:25 AM
alright, well first i would like to thank everyone who posted in my other post about getting my tranny back on. dave#### was the most helpful. thank you.

now i just finished up right now. my car is still on jack stands without the front wheels on. i'll first tell you what all was done
1. pt cruiser clutch
2. RRE ss clutch line
3. bled the clutch system good
now i started up the car and all sounded good. while the car was in neutral, the wheels would spin very slowly. is that normal? i figured that was normal but i would really like to hear for sure if that's ok.

my next question is... the clutch pedal feels really soft still. not like, no fluid in the system soft, but slighty softer than my old clutch. like i said, i thought we bled it pretty darn good. there wasn't anymore air bubbles coming out. is the pt clutch supposed to feel kinda soft. are there any great ways to bleed the clutch that i don't know about. you don't have to answer that one if you don't want cause i know i can search for that answer, so don't get your panties in a bunch! lol :thumbsup

if you know any pieces or parts of any of the questions i asked, i would greatly appreciate it if you would respond. thanks a million! :thumbsup

DR's clutch pedal was still soft after the PT clutch install but then again his car has over 150K miles compared to my 62K. Things wear out. :) Go take her for a spin IMO.

Wheel spinning is definitely normal, and my SPEC Stg 3 feels softer than stock too..just depends on the pressure plate.

I have a Zume cluch and my pedal is softer than stock....just the way the pressure plate is designed to feel. Still grabs with as much pressure though

one more thing... any special ways to break this baby in? i'm thinking just chill with it for 500 miles. no hard slips, no hard shifts. is that about it or is there something more?
