first off i searched and could not come up with anything..... i just swapd out my clutch in my s13 ka24de.... nothing fancy just a stock replacement enough to hold me off till i get my sr but heres the thing....

i changed my slave cylinder and removed the damper loop..... nothing new to me.... but now the pedal feels veryyyy soft..... ive bleed the system a few times just to be sure.... i also replaced the stock rubber hose that goes to the SC with a new one.... i have checked the MC and there are no leak or anything the whole system seems to be good....

well tonight i chaged the SC again and put on a brand new one for a 300zx.... i saw on here that the said its a little better the one made for 240's.... any ideas as to why after i removed the damped loop, have blead the system about 6 to 7 times , and replaced the MC why is the pedal so light......

theres no grinding while shifting only now and then does it make a odd noise ind of like a sweaky belt.... but while driving it shifts perfect and all just a really soft pedal.... witht he damper loop in there it had a stiffer pedal feel.....

any ides would be great.... sorry for the long read......

i have the same feather clutch feel on my s13 as well. Any ideas folks?

The only thing I dont like is how when you get used to it and you drive someone else's car their clutch feels heavy

If the system is completely bled correctly, you might just have a soft pressure plate. happened to me when i cheaped out on a clutch kit.
