I recently filled up both my clutch and brake reservoirs with Valvoline SYNPOWER fluid which is supposed to exceed dot 3 and 4.

I noticed in the pedal feel of both that there was a crunchy feeling to it. It seemed to happen at the moment of maximum fluid compression. I have SS lines on the clutch and on the front Z32 calipers.

Whats with the crunchy pedal feel? I can actually hear the noise especially from the brakes. My assumption is that the synpower and the oem fluid don't mix well and create this nasty pedal feel.

It makes my brakes feel like a downgrade rather than an up grade.

 

anyone got an idea?

 

Sorry can't help but can someone help me. My clutch squeaks when pressing and depressing. What can I do to fix? I think I need some lubricant on it, can someone show so where if needed.

 

THats the pivot point on the pedal. Get some wd40 and spray it. Look under the dash and you will see the pivot.
