2010 mazdaspeed 3.
I get in my car no clutch stays on floor.
Oh well. I order a 1500 dollar clutch from Southbend stage 3.
Mechanic puts it in. Tells me my old clutch wasn't bad.
I get in the car and my clutch engagement is like an inch off the floor. Cluch has no feel only when you get about 2 inches off the floor you feel anything.
Clutch was supposed to feel close to factory and I know it does bc I had this clutch put in an 08 mazdaspeed 3. But was done by a different mechanic.
Ok so I say f it and let another mechanic re do the job. They pulled it put it back together and same thing a little better but not much. so I drove like for 2 week and it went to the floor didn't come back.
It's been bleed every way you can think of. I have went to the mazda dealership and bought new master and slave more times then I want to admit.
For the 2 weeks i drove it I could hear a mild metal on metal sound. I figured maybe it was just how this clutch sounds. I know race clutches make sounds. But I don't remember a sound the first mazda I had it in.
I can build a little pressure but not enough for pedal to come up. And the pressure feels like it's bleeding off fast bc it loses the little bounce it had.
I replaced the slave to master line with a braided line. And checked feed lines and replaced the brake reserve bottle and cylinder just to see.
If I take the slave off I can move the fork (I think it's called the fork) i can move the fork maybe 2 inches back and forth. I can also push it up a good bit an inch or 2. Idk if that's normal.
Only reason I'm not pulling the trans is bc it's losing pressure. But im not an expert on this. I have looked everywhere for leaks and nothing.
If you think I need to remove the transmission do you think my clutch it ok?
