Default Re: Need your ideas - LT5 won?t turnover

So, the clutch pedal needs to be depressed to the floor before disengaging. A few suggestions spring to mind.
The most obvious one is whether the clutch hydraulics have been successfully bled to rid all air from the system.
Another visual check - both the clutch and brake pedal should be very close to being the same height from the floor when looking into the car. If the clutch pedal is appreciably lower than the brake pedal, the problem could be that the full stroke of the clutch master cylinder is not being obtained. If you find this to be the case, the reason could be a bent clutch pedal bracket or pushrod, or even an incorrect specification master cylinder. Having a new clutch with lots of meat on the centre plate can exaggerate this issue.
If the above checks out OK, moving to the clutch slave cylinder, ensure that it is of the correct specification for both bore size and stroke.
