I got my f23 back in with the spacer that I made and bled the system and the clutch wont disengage all the way still. I pumped the pedal really fast about ten times and it disengaged but it wont disengage when I only pump it once. So I know my spacer is big enough. Is there a special bleeding procedure for bleeding an HTOB? Im just getting irritated with this thing now. Thanks for any help! Scott
The master is about three years old and no its not. No leaks anywhere and the HTOB isnt overextended. It disengages but it still is engaged enough to where it rolls when i start it in gear.
Has to be air in the system some where or bad master by the sound if it. Every F23 I did so far bled up nice and easy so I would say master is bad.

Mine had problems too, until I went back to the slave, loosened the bleeder then pulled the slave shaft in and tightened the bleeder. Real good pedal now. The slave holds a little bubble of air that regular bleeding won't get out.
is your clutch pedal a after market one because 84-86 clutch pedals were alum and bend i had the same problem with mine changed everything and didnt have to it was the pedal the whole time
Make sure you are not over pushing. Try pushing the pedal down half way or 3/4 way.

I think Rodney is talking about bleeding the system. Don't push the pedal to the floor before opening the bleeder. Push the pedal down until it hits resistance, and continue pushing as the bleeder lets fluid out. With the pedal to the floor, air gets back in somehow.....
Okay. Ill put some teflon tape on there instead. That makes more sense. Ill let everyone know what happens tomorrow. Hopefully itll work. Thanks alot everybody.
Using a variety of parts from other car(s). Too much stroke for that type of clutch. The FWD car this trans was used in the master displaces less fluid on full pedal travel. You will not know until you try it.

My clutch pedal is perfectly straight. I vacuum bled it and now I can start it in gear but it is still engaged very little that I cant get it out of gear or start it in neutral then put it in gear. I'm going to wait another day and see if I have more air tomorrow with the vacuum bleeder. I think I still have air the HTOB that is trapped. Any other suggestions?
