Slave Cylinder sticking?
Hello Guys!
Same old problem, still looking for solution....
96 camry manual 100kmiles
Ever since the clutch change, the pedal seems to be vibrating when operating ( only when pushing in or lifting up, mostly just lifting up, if I hold it in place, I don't feel vibration, not as much at least, no more than the firewall itself, and if I wear thicker shoes, I don't feel anything ) The car takes off smooth with no chatter, some hopping if I was really in a hurry ( 1500rpm, but heavy right foot ), that's probably because my dog bone is soft and my struts are completely worn out.
The pedal also vibrates a little bit when very very small pressure is applied, but as soon as pressure starts to build, it goes away. It's basically in the range of " piston freeplay ".
since the throw out bearing sounds fine, no noise or anything, I think slave or master cylinder should be where to start ( maybe the piston is grabbing the bore while traveling )
I just ordered the slave cylinder.
But the thing is, the "vibration/grabbing" only happens when the engine is running, especailly at higher RPM and foot is on the gas pedal, ( say, a down shift from 3-2 ), and it engages rather smooth if I let out the clutch without touching the gas at all ( even in relatively higher RPM ). and it seems perfectly normal when the engine's turned off.
Does it sound reasonable to you guys?
I just bled the system 2 months ago, and now it's dirty looking again, Seems like the previous owner never changed the clutch fluid and probably lived in a humid area. So maybe that's why the bore is rough? since new clutch gave the piston a new traveling range that was originally covered by rust?
Thank you!
Just hoping someone had the exact same problem and know what exactly is causing it....
