how to bleed clutch?
i searched and couldnt find an answer....is there a way to bleed the clutch because the pedal feels weird after my new clutch is installed and its impossible for me to adjust the pedal. i just dont fit down there. any help would be appreciated.
When they installed the clutch they should of not had to touch the hydraulic system of it.....I would say you need to call a small friend to adjust the pedal. By the way how does it feel?
Follow the clutch line coming off the brake fluid resevoir...it's on the driver's side of it. Follow the rubber line till it turns into a hard line and then follow that till it terminates. Right next to that is a bleeder screw. You'll need a 10mm to open it. Put a bleeder tube on it and push the clutch in. Open the screw and fluid will come out. Tighten the screw and let the clutch back up and repeat that process. When you see no bubbles in the fluid it is bled. Be very aware of the fluid level in the resevoir. The clutch uses very little and it's baffled inside the resevoir so it's quite easy to run it down and then you're pumpin air.
clutch bleed
when i changed my clutch line , i had to rebleed, remember to keep the resevor full at all times ,cause the clutch master cyl only pulls fluid from the top 1/4 of the brake fluid resevor, for saftey reasons, hope this helps
on my Evo IX MR, the clutch and brake fluid reservoirs are combined into one, but internally, there are two compartments. Fluid is able to flow between the two compartments if it is at least 3/4 full (that's where the divider ends). The brake master cylinder pulls fluid from the bottom of its compartment, and the clutch master cylinder pulls its fluid from the side of its compartment, about 1/4 of the way from the bottom. Since the reservoir is separated into compartments, if one compartment was sucked empty, it won't cause the other compartment to go empty. Maybe that is the safety feature you're talking about?
