Clutch pedal stopping halfway down after replacing clutch master cylinder
Hi all,
I have a 92 Dodge Stealth RT/TT
First I'll start off with some background on the issue. About 6 months ago I drove the car and the clutch was working fine. It did jump out of reverse once but I didn't think anything much about it. The car has an aftermarket clutch which is heavy (cant remember the type) but it always worked fine.
Last week I got in and pressed the clutch and it went to the floor. I checked the clutch master cylinder level and it was empty. I refilled it and the pedal came back to normal position. When I pressed it down there was no resistance. I thought it might need to be bled so I tried bleeding it and wasn't getting any fluid out of the bleeder valve. I figured it was a master cylinder so I replaced that (what a nightmare)
Now when I press the pedal it goes about halfway down and hard stops. There is very little if any resistance in the first half of the pedal travel. When I release the bleeder valve the pedal goes to the floor as expected. I bled the system again to make sure there wasn't air in the system and the new master is pushing fluid out the bleeder now. Bleeding the system did not make a difference. I did adjust the pedal some just to make sure that the adjustment wasn't the problem. It didn't seem to make any difference. I visually checked the slave cylinder and dont see any leaking. I tried pressing in the piston with the bleeder valve open and it would not move which may be normal.
Thanks
