Tankman 3,515 #1 Posted October 20, 2018 My '90 520-8 running fine. I'm just "bothered" by some clutch pedal bounce. The clutch pedal while sitting bounces 'bout an inch, back 'n forth. Not hurting anything just bothers me. Thinking my damper cylinder ($$-Ouch-$$) or clutch spring is kaput. OK, any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,916 #2 Posted October 20, 2018 How's the belt? Chunk out or rough spot.also a well worn belt deep in the pulley can do it too 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pulleys are fine. Thinking “damper or spring”. Otherwise runs fine regardless of the slight pedal “bounce.” The damper cylinder is priced “out of this world”, perhaps an inexpensive substitute?

squonk 38,916 #4 Posted October 20, 2018 https://www.liftsupportsdepot.com/featured-products/ Napa also can get many sizes. Take the old one off get the closed and extended length. Possibly the pressure rating will be on it. And show them the mounting style. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,229 #5 Posted October 20, 2018 Could be just grabbing a little...once in a while. Try cleaning the pulleys with mineral spirits after some steel wool. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,217 #6 Posted October 28, 2018 I don't remember whether my C-120 clutch pedal bounced or not, but when depressed it made a hell of a racket. The shaft rod had worn the hole in the frame out. I drilled them out and installed oillite bushings. It's real quite now when depressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
