Default clutch problem*****

well my clutch bites really low. i will have my clutch pushed down all the way to the floor and when i release it just a little bit, i can already feel the clutch biting. and theres no grinds while going through the gears, but 3rd only grinds while taking it up high rpms. but if i shift low rpms, it doesnt grind. can anyone help me with this problem? i have a sg2 act clutch. i pressure bled the clutch lines too.

thanks.

you can adjust the clutch engagment point. and that grind sounds like a bad syncro. i have the same problem with my tranny. :hs:

After you bleed it, is it better for a while then gets worse again?
If so, you may need a new master or slave cylinder.

ive bleed it like 2 weeks ago, and since then, its been the same. how much would it cost for new syncros? and what would an average shop charge to put them in? and where can i find them?

and is there any way to adjusting my clutch? like by the clutch pedal or anything.

i got mines from (gearspeedinc. com) got the whole set for $250. my uncle was too busy with his paying costumers lol.no free install for me. so i had to go to my mechanic. he charged me $80 per syncro. so my guess would be for install $80-100 per syncro.

what ever fits your budget. you might have the same problem again a year or two later. so just secure the tranny you have now man. a lot cheaper.
