    hydraulic clutch engaging high

    Well, I see now that the slave cyl is a little wet, maybe normal seepage but I am going to change it the line, and the master anyway, assuming it could be original. When I removed the slave, the rod extended. I could push it back with my hand pretty easily, but there is enough pressure that it...

    hydraulic clutch engaging high

    Ha, well, just ran an errand for work... throw out bearing is starting to chirp! Before I do anything fancy I will put a new clutch in it... I don't have any leaks, but is it recommended to replace the slave and master cyls, and if so, is there a brand that is suggested for a daily driver...

    hydraulic clutch engaging high

    If I was compressing air, I would think the pedal would push down closer to the floor before the slave started to move, and therefore when I released the clutch the engagement would happen sooner, giving me a low pedal?

    hydraulic clutch engaging high

    Thanks for the information. Not sure I would go to that extreme, but I think I will tinker with my idea, I have nothing to lose. I agree there's nothing wrong with my truck, but based on my other 2 GMs biting lower, would like to get this truck a little closer to the others.

    Self adjusting in that as the stroke of the hyd. cyls change due to wear, there is a check valve that regulates it and keeps the pedal height the same. Much like your brake pedal does not change as your brake pads wear. I would think your clutch pedal should be at the same height as it wears...

    hydraulic clutch engaging high

    Thanks for the reply. The truck is new to me and I knew it felt funny before I bought it, so if I have to replace the clutch that was already considered before the deal was sealed. Since Hydraulic clutches are self-adjusting, I guess I would also assume it would self-adjust all the way to the...

    hydraulic clutch engaging high

    Hi all, 1987 3/4 ton pickup, hydraulic clutch. The clutch engages very high. Does not slip. I have read that it needs to be bled, but if there was air in the system wouldn't it engage very low in that a lot of piston travel would be compressing air which would translate into not much movement...
