Faulty Upper Clutch Pump for Proton Inspira (Lancer GT)

in steempress •  6 years ago 

Today I took half day leave from work so I can have the other half day to go and get my car fixed. Previously I have written before that my clutch goes light every time I cold start the car, and it goes back to normal after a short drive. Sometimes it still feels normal even the next day, which was pretty random but still better get this fixed.

Already suspected is the upper clutch pump gone bad, but trying the easy fix first which was bleeding the clutch (brake oil). So the foreman tried to bleed, the brake fluid reservoir suppose to go lower, but instead it stucks there. Then my clutch went 100% light as there are no oil going into the clutch system.


 



The place where the bleeding valve is placed underneath the engine but can be accessed from the top without jacking up the car, pretty easy job. Seems like the clutch pump really gone bad.

 



He took out the whole upper clutch pump and demonstrated to me how it works because I was eager to learn. The pump has already lost its tension and spring effect even I myself can feel it. New one cost around RM380 which is the price I get from a Mitsubishi spare part shop. I have no choice but to leave the car there and get the spare part myself next morning, then head back to this shop and let the guy finish the job.

Last few months ago I have problem on the clutch pack, and the clutch pump (defect) that costed me twice the worksmanship on taking out the gearbox. This time is an easier task, hopefully no more clutch issue as this car model especially manual is prone to have this problem eventually.
