Car: 2006, 295k. DMF replaced with Valeo SMF and clutch at about 120k.
Malone 1.5 tune, hitch installed, occasional towing, mostly highway use.
Issue:
The clutch pedal has some randomness when it comes to the release point. Most of the time, the pedal has normal feel.
Other times, the pedal will go nearly to the floor before the clutch releases.
I thought that there may be some clutch slip happening that causes this but I've observed none.
I don't think it's heat related because sometimes the pedal will fall nearly to the floor first thing in the morning.
One last thing I also noticed. When going from DMF to SMF, of course my car got the gear / synchro rattle that's common. Over the last 20k or so, that rattle has disappeared. If I "stab" the clutch pedal to the floor and immediately release it, I can make it come back.
Ideas? I'm hoping for something simple, like slave cylinder. But, the rattle noise tells me that maybe the clutch isn't releasing all the way. Which makes no sense, as there is zero clutch slip while driving.
