If i drive the car off boost, its fine, as soon as it starts to boost, the clutch pedal becomes possessed, it shakes like a mo fo, making the stalks, brake pedal & pretty much everything else vibrate.

If i put my foot down on the clutch, even a little, it will stop, but release it & off it goes again.

The pedal has been "rebushed" by prev owner, and there is a uprated clutch in there.

Hope someone can give me some ideas, as it really getting on my tits now

many thanks in advance.

Mark.

 

Wrapped fly wheel or clutch pressure plate.

 

any other things it could be?

dont fancy taking box out to find its something else, thanks!

 

eewwww a cavalier, lol

 

Need to change that, got my s2 now

 

Has it got an AP clutch in with a mk5 pedal?

 

I only know it has an uprated clutch in, what one, i dont know.

As for pedal, how can i check?

Cheers.

 

Hi Mark, that was my brothers car before you and Jay had it.

The pedal is the right one for the car, it's not a mk5 item.

I'll try and find what the make the clutch is.

 

Cheers

 

I spoke to the the bloke who had it before my brother, the clutch was changed back at the end of 2002, and was AP
Hope that helps

 

so probs the clutch is fooked & thats why its vibrating?

the biting point is very low, mebbies 1 inch from the floor?

are they adjustable in the rst? or automatic?

cheers for the info

 

My girlfriends Sierra was like that for a coulpe of weeks, suddenly her clutchwire snapped. I changed the wire and the problem has been gone since...

 

put an adjustable mk5 pedal in there, but if i was u id get sum1 to do it 4 u, its a right pain. the standard 1 is automatic adjuster. it their any play in it side to side?

 

No play, but its starting to vibrate on tickover now, not just on boost

 

is the spring in place?

If it is an AP clutch, it really should have the Mark 5 pedal conversion, as AP messed up the design of the release bearing. However, if done properly, the mk5 pedal conversion gives a really nice pick up.

 

hmmm, what is needed for this conversion?

roughly how much does it cost & how do i go about converting it?

cheers for the info Rick, you seem to answer all my questions

 

The details are on AP's website, along with part nos etc. Parts won't cost more than a tenner, but it's a bit fidly. Take the drivers seat out, and take your time

 

Nice one, cheers bud
