Clutch Nightmare!!!!
Clutch Nightmare!!!!
Hey hopefully someone can help me. A few months back i blew my clutch tryin to pull a buddy out so i replaced the clutch then i was having problems with it engaging mainly leaking flluid out of the internal slave cylinder so the down and dirty i now have a brand new clutch brand new slave cylinder and a brand new master cylinder installed but i cant get pressure to my clutch at all and i cant shift gears because of it i have bled the thing too many times to count i push the pedal down but only get pressure at about the last inch to two inches and it wont come back up please somebody help i miss driven my truck
Just did a clutch on mine as well! I found that it took a while to bleed the slave in my 96. Basically, I filled up the resevoir to the top with clean brake fluid, went below to the bleed screw on the slave, attached a hose that went into a clear jar partially filled with brake fluid, (mine comes through the transmission housing) and loosened it.
The fluid started to flow through the tube, and I watched as the bubbles came out. REMEMBER! Keep an eye on the resevoir level. Don't let it go empty!
Once you see a steady stream of fluid, tighten the bleed screw. You will then have to press the clutch pedal all the way down and hold it for a couple of seconds. Then release (or pull up) the clutch as fast as possible.
You will need to do this at least ten or twenty times. You should notice more and more pressure. Also, toward the end, have someone apply moderate pressure to the clutch pedal, and loosen the bleed screw (remember the tube - you don't want this stuff to hit your clutch) this should expel any additional air bubbles.
Hope this helps!
