Another clutch thread, i know, but this has been haunting me for a week now.

My clutch slave blew up the other day. Appearing to be as old as the truck, I bought a new slave and plugged her in. I've yet to get my old clutch feel back. Clutch is engaging at the top of release. I've adjusted the rod to and fro with no avail (blew the seal out with the adjustment screw all the way down near the slave). And I've bled her time and time again.

Anyway, now more than ever I feel a physical "pop" in my clutch pedal when releasing the clutch. I can feel the pop on my foot and I can hear it. It pops at the top of the release. It does not pop out of gear, i'm talking about a feel in the pedal.

Anyone know what a pop in the clutch pedal may indicate?

Thanks!

That you bought your clutch slave somewhere other than a Toyota dealer?

Get both master and slave at the same time and get the soft line if it's not in really great condition.
 
Is the pop coming from inside the cab, or does it sound like it's coming from under the truck? I have an audible "pop" occasionally that I feel through the clutch pedal because the clutch return spring up under the dash gets hung up on a ghetto tachometer mount the PO installed. Doesn't seem to affect pedal action so I haven't missed with it yet, but it is kind of annoying! have someone else actuate the clutch and check out your slave spring and your return spring and make sure they aren't hanging on anything.
 
Pin head is right, grease that pivot rod with the cotter pin in it that the clutch pedal rotates on.
 
I'll try greasing, thanks for the suggestions all.

and once I can slip it by the :princess:, I was going to go ahead and replace the master seeing as i already swapped out the slave. With some greasing, hopefully the pop and overall adjustment work out.
