turboboostin Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Over the weekend I installed the Mcleod RXT clutch, New OEM slave cylinder, pilot bearing, and a Mcleod stainless clutch line. After installation car drove fine on the way home. The next day in the afternoon I went to back out of my drive way and reverse was not easy to go into (Grind). If I shift into 3rd let clutch out a bit and then shift into reverse quickly there is no grind. When installing the RXT I made sure the first disc spun freely and it wasn't binding in any way like Mcleod recommends. Could there still be air that needs to be bled in the clutch system causing this? We did do the vacuum bleed procedure and the pedal feels fine from what I can tell.

cormy Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I remember having a hard time getting it into reverse after the RXT install sometimes.. Putting it into 5th was a hit or miss sometimes as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 100% sure there is a "Air Bubble" in the line.Just keep pumping the Clutch Pedal and it will come to normal feel and operation.hydro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
