Re: Clutch pedal travels too low
I have bled the clutches on both the Zs by drawing fluid into the system via the slave cylinder -exercising and coordinating the bleeder valve and slave's pushrod to pull in fresh fluid and purge air out of the system. (It's VERY quick and IMO much more efficient than pumping the clutch pedal dozens of times (and I've done it both ways & would never return to the pedal pumping routine...unless I'm on my bicycle!))

We gave up at 70 once, went back and did it again and finally got a pedal that worked. If it is a new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing clutch slave and clutch master, then odds still favor an hydraulic issue. Try 150. I have to accept that a tech at a GM dealership installed the hardware correctly. They don't let the lube tech do clutch installs. Good luck and continue to keep us posted of your results.  Marty |

Re: Clutch pedal travels too low
Thanks Everyone! IT IS FIXED!!!!!
The solution was that when the mechanic replaced the origins clutch master cylinder, he left the original shims on the firewall. He removed the shims, installed the replacement, and bleed the system. The width of the shims were limiting the clutch master cylinder piston stroke! Pedal feel is perfect and the shifts are smooth. Thanks everyone for your suggestions that narrowed down the possibilities! Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry
