first gear, clutch to the floor, car lurches forward, once given throttle (6000 rpms) Options

ok well we first noticed this when i took my swapped celica to the track (not even going to talk about the times because the car was broken all night)

it used to be a lot worse, i would creep forward slowly at 3 grand..

i have adjusted the clutch all the way, which solved my sloppy shifter feeling but not my clutch issue, it seems to have gotten better but still not perfect which annoys me.

the only adjustment i have left is pedal height and thats getting ridiculously high to the point where its starting to look goofy in my pedal arrangement.

im also 99% sure it has been completely bled.

the next logical assumption is that something is wrong with my clutch, correct? i have a Centerforce stage 3 dual friction clutch, and when i bought the motor and trans from a guy who wrecked his car he said the clutch was pretty new less than a thousand miles.

so im assuming because of the fact that many other problems i have had with this car have been due to the previous owner and the shops he had work on the car that this is just another point in my project where im going to have to spend more money.

does anyone have any more ideas? as of right now the car only begins to lurch forward at like 6 grand, so i can live with it because ill never be nuetral dropping at 6 grand but its still an annoying problem and i also want to make sure nothing is getting hurt because of it.

thanks!

how did you adjust the clutch?

Have you tried a longer pushrod in the slave cylinder? You can get one here.

a longer pushrod sounds nice but i shouldnt need one you know what i mean?

but ill look into it

i adjusted the clutch as per bgb standards, i loosened the lock nut on the pushrod going into the cylinder and turned it as if i was tightening it into the cylinder, and i did this as much as i could before the rod came out then i threaded it back in a little.

are you saying the longer you hold the clutch in, while the cars in first, you will slowly start moving after a bit? or does it creep no matter how long the pedal is pushed in? try pumping the clutch a few times before engagin it, then try to make it creep again

have you bled the clutch hydraulics yet or looked for leaks?

i have bled it like 3 times but manny says that his car did it too no matter how much he bled it untill he used a mightyvac to bleed it.. so i might try that. my clutch fluid resevoir is max same as its been since last time i bled it.


cheeco, it only lurches forward if i rev it up in first gear with the clutch in, obviously this isnt a major inconvenience, but i know that it ISNT supposed to happen so i want it fixed.
