Bleeding a LS1 T-56 Master Cylinder the CHEAP and EASY way

[@The12345condor]

Wow!! Worked great!! I have a brake bleed gun kit with fittings . I just put it in the hole in the bottom of the reservoir, vacuum pumped it , pulled hose out and a Few bubbles came out. I Started car clutch was perfect. Before this I couldn't even disengage clutch to drive . Best You Tube video with clear explanation I have seen!!!

Thanks, I started having trouble with the clutch pedal of my 2002 Camaro a week or so ago, so I am definitely going to give this a try. Thanks for sharing!

That shifter didn't wNna go into 1st like rest. There's air so deep into the slave cylinder I have a hard time imagining that med would finish job. Going deeper though, have 1 pump clutch up a bit. Guy under with torx on that bleed screw opening, closing as you pump. Get em all. When you compress the CLutch a few times screw bleeds deep into unit. NiceVid! Keep it up

As you were pumping the syringe, there was always fluid in the reservoir, right? Otherwise wouldn't more air get in the system?

[@OctaneSlain]

DON'T pump the syringe. Just pull it until the air bubbles come out and slow to a stop. Then remove the syringe, squirt any fluid it accumulated into an old bottle (don't re-use the aerated fluid) and top off the reservoir with fresh fluid. This is a cheap, hack way of doing it. I'd definitely recommend a mity-vac instead. But eventually this method was only temporary for me until my pedal would start acting up again. I just swapped the stock master for a Ticks.

@OctaneSlain Thanks - makes sense to only pull, no pump. However, I should rephrase my question: When you do the pull, there needs to be some fluid in the reservoir so the fluid that goes into the syringe isn't displaced by air, right? I am guessing you only showed us the empty reservoir as a visual of what the hole looks like.

[@OctaneSlain]

Yes, the reservoir needs to be continously topped off with fresh fluid. I emptied the reservoir to give a better visual of the hole you need to look for. My fluid was baked so I decided to remove it all and replace with fresh at the time of the video

My t56 tranny will not go into reverse but it will go into first with no problem. Possible air still in clutch system?
