Clutch pedal is hard to press.

A harder clutch pedal in your Toyota Fortuner 3.0L D4D 2007 could be indicative of several potential issues. It's important to have a qualified mechanic inspect and diagnose the specific cause, but I can suggest some common reasons for a harder clutch pedal:

• Clutch Wear:
• The clutch may be nearing the end of its life and may require replacement. Over time, the clutch disc and pressure plate can wear, leading to a harder pedal feel.
• Clutch Hydraulic System Issues:
• The hydraulic system, including the clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, or hydraulic lines, could be leaking, damaged, or experiencing air bubbles, resulting in a harder pedal feel. Inspect for any leaks or damage in these components.
• Clutch Cable Issues (if applicable):
• If your Fortuner uses a mechanical clutch linkage with a cable, the cable could be stretched, frayed, or damaged, causing increased resistance in the pedal.
• Clutch Release Bearing:
• The clutch release bearing may be failing or worn out, causing increased resistance when engaging and disengaging the clutch.
• Clutch Fork or Pivot Issues:
• The clutch fork or its pivot may be damaged or experiencing increased friction, making the pedal feel harder.
• Pressure Plate Issues:
• The pressure plate, which engages and disengages the clutch, might have issues like wear, warping, or damage, affecting the pedal feel.
• Flywheel Problems:
• The flywheel could be worn, damaged, or have hot spots, affecting the clutch engagement and the pedal feel.
• Improperly Lubricated Components:
• Lack of lubrication in the clutch linkage or pedal assembly can cause increased friction and result in a harder pedal.

Conclusion.
It's essential to address any clutch-related issues promptly to prevent further damage and ensure the safety and performance of your vehicle. It's recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect and diagnose the specific cause of the harder clutch pedal in your Toyota Fortuner.

Hydraulic pump of clutch.


It has 2. One external and one internal with the hub (on the clutch disc).

In the trunk, passenger side. It's Alfa by the way.

Return spring is likely missing

Your local Alfa Romeo dealer should be able to assist you. The service department should have a manual with a complete schematic.

Generally a FPR failure won't cause a non-start. Both your Fuel pump fuse and relay are under the package shelf, behind the front seats on the right hand side. The shelf has three screws that are kinda hard to see and some Velcro holding it down. Also thick your inertial switch. The white button should be up.

The clutch is controlled hydraulically. There is a master cylinder behind the pedal that pumps fluid into the slave cylinder over the transmission. When it is hard to push down, then it could be frozen hydraulics or a clutch pressure plate problem, but the fact it is also slow coming up means it is only the hydraulics. It could be master or slave. But since the slave is out in the engine compartment where is can rust, I would guess the slave is more likely. I was able to take the rubber piston seals into a clutch specialty shop and they found BMW parts that were a perfect fit, for only a few dollars. To take the slave cylinder apart for cleaning, I would suggest using the fluid pressure to pop the piston out by removing the cylinder but keeping the line attached. If there is any rust, it must be removed with fine emery or steel wool, but all grit must then be washed out. Then use brake lubricant to aid assembly and prevent future rust. If the slave does not do it, then do the master cylinder next. It very rusty and if unable to find a new one, the old one can be chrome plated back to spec.

look on ebay, you should find what your looking for!

Hi.

You can get Alfa Romeo 164 Technical manuals from http://www.dr164.com/manuals.html

The clutch pedal sticking down is normally due to the damper sticking. You can see it just above the gearbox bellhousing. If it's not obvious, track the hydraulic line back from the clutch slave cylinder and you'll come across a disc shaped object with 2 hydraulic connections. You can either bypass this and rebleed the clutch cylinder (normal practise) or replace it and rebleed. The AR part number for EURO 1992 12v V6 cars and USA 1992 12v V6 cars is 60556925.

Hope this helps.
