On another road trip.
Perfect clutch feel went departing on this trip, after a couple of hours of freeway driving I’ll do a downshift on an exit ramp, clutch pedal goes to floor. This has happened a few times in the last few days. I’ll gravity bleed at the slave with pedal up, then bleed again with the pedal down, I may have to do this a few times but I’ve been successful so far, get a nice high pedal. I’ll then drive on surface streets, lots of traffic lights, stops signs, slow speeds, a lot of clutching, I did this for three days, no problem, same nice high pedal. Got back on the highway today and after a couple of hours of driving 65-75 mph, (not using the clutch of course), made an exit and no clutch at all. Thinking it is heat, I probed the slave and lines, read 180*. Did my usual bleeding routine, no dice.
No fluid loss.
Before trip:
New Dorman clutch master, thinking the old Dorman was bad, but seals looked good.
Pulled slave, seals looked good.
Installed new rubber hose between the firewall and slave.
Simply put, the clutch is great around town, after a couple of hours of freeway driving, pedal goes to floor.
I am completely baffled.
