Hey guys,

I'm in the middle of my clutch line install. Got the new clutch line hooked up finally, but now that i'm ready to bleed to clutch, I'm getting no feedback whatsoever on the clutch pedal. It just goes straight to the floor and back up. I lost a good amount of brake fluid while swapping the lines. Am I screwed cause air may have gotten into the master cylinder while I was swapping the lines? Thanks in advance.

 

Im sure you did get some in there but ur not screwed. If u are alone, fill ur resevour and press the pedal to the floor and block it, open the bleeder screw-close it and repeat till u get some flow. If u have help do the same thing, but ur "help" will be the "block"
After u get flow just let gravity do its thing will u tap the Slave cyl ( To dislodge bubbles ) after u get some pedal pump the hell out of it and open the bleeder-close it and repeat-repeat repeat. After things start to work , take it for a short ride and open the bleeder again when u get back. pump,pump,pump and open the bleeder again.
That will get u close

 

hmmm ok the resevour has been filled for a while. There is no resistance for the clutch pedal to go in or out. What do you mean by "blocking" i'm not really sure, could you clarify? Should I leave the clutch pedal depressed and try to open the bleeder till more fluid comes out?

 

Yes ---push it down and hold it while u open and close the bleeder, release it. repeat etc. There will be zero resistence till u get the air out, u may have to pull it up manually

 

Got it finished. Thanks so much

 

GREAT !!!! Open the bleeder ONE more time in about a day or two ---U WILL get a couple more bubbles ---I believe it can be reached from up top with an extention

 

One thing I noticed after driving around for a bit is that the clutch feels a lot more stickier than before. By "Sticky" I mean it feels like when your letting up the clutch, it doesn't give constant pressure against your foot the whole time. At certain points, it'll get caught very briefly, kinda like if the clutch pedal wasn't lubed or something.

 

all i have to say is i did this for hours it was stressfull jsut pump the hsit oput of it and bleed repeat bleed repeat bleed repeat. do it till its driveable and drive it, it will get better in a couple days and go backto normal

 

hey whats up. I'm having problems with my clutch overheating (the fluid that is) so i'm putting in an ss line and motul rbf600 clutch fluid. i'm debating on whether or not i should do it myself or take it to the dealer. Is this a do-able job on your own?

 

Your call Dude ---Thats a question only you can answer ---Its not rocket science and it either works or dosent and if it doesnt then no harm done---correct the prob til it does. Take ur time and be patient

 

^^^- Good advice. Be patient, take your time.

 

i tried this method for almost 4 hrs and the most fluid that i can get to beed is about 8 drops. i have pumped on the pedal for so long i have blisters on my hands.

 

get another person to sit on in the car to pump and hold..and you get under the car to bleed then refill the reservoir.
