novadog Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Hello: I am having a problem w/ clutch pedal travel (2K Outback). As I drive in stop and go traffic for a time, the pedal travel increases significantly. I can still engage and disengage it and there is no slippage event. Once the car sits for several hours all is back to normal. I tried a search and have not come up with anything. Your thoughts will be appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 But usually if there is air being introduced this is only a temporary remedy. Last year I changed the slave and hose per the TSB on my 99. I was not happy with the result until I also changed the clutch master cyl. Now she seems ready for five more years. Odds are your clutch will get worse and worse until it starts sticking to the floor. At that point you can pull it up with your foot and pump it to get home. Mine failed in SF traffic of course.

Cheers You should go as far as possible on the clutch pedal, and when you realese it ther's a stopper so I d'ont understand the " pedal travel increases significantly".

Gnuman Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 You should go as far as possible on the clutch pedal, and when you realese it ther's a stopper so I d'ont understand the " pedal travel increases significantly". Try reading it as "pedal travel increases significantly before acting on the clutch" or perhaps "pedal free-play increases significantly". That should help you understand the question better. . .
