hard clutch

[miked]

need your opinion mga sirs... medyo matigas ang clutch pedal ko. sa isang mekaniko ang diagnose po nya ay kelangan na daw po magpalit ng clutch lining.... sa isang mekaniko naman po ay diagnose niya ay papalitan yung clutch slave cylinder kasi daw po maliit ung nakakabit. 13/16 po yung nakakabit ngayon. sabi po ng mekaniko 7/8 daw po dapat. corolla gli 97 po yung unit. ano po ba ang stock na clutch slave cylinder ng auto ko?

thanks po in advance.

changing to a larger slave cylinder may soften your clutch pedal but the stroke (distance) the slave piston travels is decreased which may affect clutch lining engagement (will not fully engage). stay stock. assuming no problem in the hydraulic circuit, check first if there are no binding in the mechanical linkages (pedal, throw out fork, etc). if all else fails, it's usually the pressure springs in the pressure plate assembly. nagpalit ka ba ng pressure plate before?

para klaro lang, matigas lang ba talaga ang clutch pedal pero gears will engage smoothly? kung may grinding sound, the hydraulic circuit is ingesting air preventing full travel of the pistons (assuming no transmission problems).
