Sidekick Sport - Clutch engagement probs? Check the "Pedal lever"
#2
thanks !
i guess you mean J18 SPORT as many dealers world over put SPORT LABELS on side of G16 vehicle,  and are not J18 at ALL.  but slave = J18 for sure.

23 years of clutch action say 50 times a day is what. 1/2 MILLION strokes,  really amazing anything on earth lasts that long, for sure clutches.
the sport is 100% hydraulic action  clutch , but  the G16car is 100% mechanical. the latter loves to fail as you stated, the not the hydra,version
what KILLS G16s is the cable rusts and seizes and the driver, pushes 100lbs on the pedal (6:1 ratio lever) and 600 pounds wrecks these parts fast, but hydra, never seizes.
but pure mechanical loves to fail for may reasons, cable end the damn clutch pedal loves to crack , only lame factory spot welds , I 100% welded mine at all key stress points, for sure see cracks, really easy fix, a pedal. cracks.
if you watched my video you's see what normal J18 slave action is. (linked below)
FYI (also)
the collapsed throw out bearing will render the slave useless. and nothing to push back on the slave piston rod , oboy complex and confusion, now.
to work a clutch we start at the pedal first not pull any 4wd drive line only to find out gee the pedal is a wreck or the spline shafts on it are stripped.
we have  page on this, shows all this,   12 years now. same page.

J18 slave moves 19mm stroke if not bleed it,  the bleeding is not easy nor are motorcycles or light front brakes on light aircraft, due to the pipes are VERTICAL. 
picture in your mind, brake fluid bubbles wanting to float up as you want to force them down and out of the slave bleed.  (no fun that)

12 year old video.  still kicking !

just maybe a j18 with 1million strokes (pedal) are the end,. IDK , the car is freaking old. so. really expect anything.
