Light Clutch Pedal After Fitting Of New Clutch

Good Evening All,

Just had another clutch fitted under warranty last week, after the last one developed the rattle of death, after the previous one had been fitted didn't notice any difference in biting point or pressure when depressing the pedal. Though with this one the biting point seems normal which is close to the floor, though the pedal pressure seems ever so light, infact so light an old granny would be able to drive it without any problems. Some people may say this would be a good thing, though I'm used to having some resistance when using the clutch, and having a light pedal seems a little disconcerting. I have checked for any fluid loss, though seems fine, is this anything I should be worried about, also gear change seems normal, ie a little clunky though nothing I'm not used to.
Any ideas before I call my dealer would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers
Keith

hydraulics won't effect pressure now felt on pedal different from before it was done , even if they were changed ( unless cyl bore size changed which I've never heard of )

pressure is from the clutch pressure plate , some new ones do feel very light compared to old one

does clutch seem to grip well when driving , no slipping etc

Hello Munch90,

No slipping clutch seems to grip well, and gearchange is normal, well for a Defender that is

Only questioning as for some strange reason liked how it was before. but if the pressure plate is a different setup, I will have to get used to it, anyway thanks for sharing your knowledge mate,

Cheers

I wouldnt worry how light it is , just get used to it and be grateful

just keep eye on that's it gripping ok , don't dip clutch under load to check its ok , if it glazes or gets hot then they are never as good after
