half a clutch?

I am experiencing what I believe is a worn clutch (this will be my second new clutch in this car)

pedal only returns half way on travel and I need to sometimes pull it up with my toe etc

fluid is topped up and I am putting it down to clutch dying

OR is there anything else I need to check?

drives fine otherwise : slight graunch into 1st on occasion

i had this on my wagon to . do you have the spring on the clutch fork still?

its right next to where you get the clutch pin out.

it helps the pedal return.

+1, this is the common fault when the pedal doesnt return esp at higher rpm

other wise a bleed and pedal adjust

and I thought i was starting a useless thread...

reason I associate this with worn clutch is last time this happened it started to slip real bad afterwards : maybe they simply fixed the spring when new clutch was installed :P

I had this issue on dyno. They blead the clutch multiple times and upgraded spring and still happened.

They eventually put it down to the bearings in the engine being warn and the crank floating. Thats what they said, I cant really see how that would effect it that much but they seem to know what they are doing when it comes to it.

yea some high kms subi engines have wicked end float!

i took one apart and it was using the crankcase as a thrust surface :D

pull clutches put alot more strain on them the push ones

what did you find joker?

Endfloat :( thrust bearing ate 1.5 mm out of my crank on my Old engine

Almost sounds like your clutch fluids boiling ??? Try wrapping down pipe and put heat shields on?

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
