martin,
perhaps time to upgrade to some Brembo rotors? In oem sizes they are readily available, even drilled if you like. But I won't get into debating that practice...
Oh, and I plan on seeing your new movie this weekend! :-) |

Martin: Probably several causes for the stiff clutch pedal, but one that gets overlooked is that the TO bearing can bind on its sleeve. If this is the cause, it's probably best fixed by disassembling the clutch. However......
I lubed mine with a 'stay-put-at-high-temp' type of grease, sprayed thru the open port on the bellhousing cover using a small dia aluminum tube obtained at a hobby shop. You'll have to study the service and parts manuals to see exactly where to apply it and how to appropriately bend the tubing. Have someone in the car holding the clutch pedal down, thus exposing part of the sleeve. Be careful, as you don't want any on the clutch itself. Sparingly - less is better! Did wonders for mine. |

Hello everyone,
After approx. one hour on the road my clutch peddle becomes quite stiff to operate - any ideas?
Secondly after a recent track day I have cracked another front brake disc despite fitting additional cooling ducts and always completing a 'cooling down' lap - any suggestions (apart from do not attend any more track days!!).
Many thanks in antisipation.
Martin. |
