Broo how you did it, ive been trying all the methods with my prelude and nothing happens

[@syloluon4969]

@@joaquinacevedo6045 I ended up bench bleeding . Since I have an aftermarket line that goes to the slave cylinder, I put the line at the reservoir and you have someone repeatedly pushing down the pedal until you stop seeing air bubbles. Then I'll have that person hold down the pedal as I reconnect the slave cylinder. Once that's done, then you bleed it accordingly. Someone steps on the pedal a couple times then you bleed it etc. I will factor in that m.c was replaced by luk and the slave also. The duralast m.c blew out and my oriellys slave was not bleeding right, I went through 2 of them.I suggest to go with both with the luk brand. You can get them from an advanced auto. you'll find that it's a big difference

[@syloluon4969]

@@joaquinacevedo6045 what I ended up doing was bench bleeding it in the car. Since I have an aftermarket line to the slave I just set it in the clutch reservoir and have someone step or hand push the pedal until I see no more air bubbles appearing. Then I have that person hold down the pedal as I connect the line black on the slave. Once it's reconnected, open the bleed valve just enough for the fluid to come out, then have your helper release the pedal. If you don't see anything coming out, that's fine, just close the bleeder. Now bleed the clutch accordingly, 4,5 pump, hold etc. Eventually it will get better. Another note is don't use duralast or O'Reilly's master or slave. Duralast m.s.blew twice brand new. Then O'Reilly's has a bleed valve problem on the slave. I ended up using the luk brand for both from advanced. Make sure you set the m.s throw in the proper position, if you don't, the pedal won't contract right not giving a full pump and it will make bleeding endless. Once you change to luk, I guarantee you'll feel the difference. Good luck 🤙

Hi there! Could you do this with a bleeder bottle with a check valve? Since it won’t let old fluid and air back into the system? Basically crack open the bleeder and pump the clutch a few time.

You could. Those "speed bleeders" have historically not been reliable for me so I do not use them

[@KookiDowg]

I had issues engaging into 1st on original clutch, master and slave cylinder with 195k miles. Fluid was dark. Decided to replace slave and flush system. Everything worked great for 6 months and now back to original issue. Would it be air in the lines or possibly master cylinder bad without leaks? Also noticed car shifts fine when cold until warmed up

[@CMAutohaus]

Tough call. But I would check the basics. Trans fluid level and condition, clutch pedal height and free play, ect.

[@redseantlworld]

@@CMAutohaus Rubber seals usually perish in any case. Unless your lucky lol. They can suck in air, and leak fluid. Since you've eliminated all the guess work. Chances are it could be your master cylinder. I hope it's easy to access without taking off many components to get to it.

[@sunilcherianpullockaran8817]

If it works fine when cold then there definitely is an air bubble in the system. Hot air expands and behaves like a bigger bubble. Bleeding the system should do the trick.

[@074mandy]

Hello mate my clutch slave gave out other day just replaced it but it gets hard somewhat but stay to the floor have to pull it up by hand do you have a clue on what it could be

[@CMAutohaus]

You typically replace the entire system if one part fails (slave, master, softline) otherwise everything else gets contaminated. There may be a problem with another part or you could try different bleeding procedures (some cars need to be 2 man bleed because of a one way check valve)

[@jamescameron7633]

Thats the way bro bush style

[@4444mongo]

I guess you still need to top up the fluid and keep an eye on it so you don't let air in the system

[@gdsunbreakable]

Just to clarify if you bleed the slave cylinder as shown in the video, you don't need to press down on the clutch pedal at all? Also how are you making sure the reservoir isn't running low while you're bleeding the slave cylinder? Thanks in advance

[@CMAutohaus]

I typically vacuum bleed, then bleed the slave last. No need to press the clutch pedal if bleeding the slave or vacuum bleeding. Yes you need to top off fluid as needed. Our shop specializes in the AE86 chassis, so I know by experience if I fill the clutch master to MAX and bleed the slave alone, it will not run dry.

So wait do you use the clutch fork after someone helps you with pushing the pedal down or do you do this when you’re by yourself?

[@leetos.4915]

Neither…if u work by yourself, use a long object like long screw driver to push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor with the driver seat applied maximum depress then push the fork to the rod and open the bleeder valve (like he showed us). 😊

[@DeliciousCake15]

Just to be clear, this is supposed to be done AFTER bleeding the master cylinder by holding the clutch down?

[@DeliciousCake15]

or from what I understand from the video, this is an alternative, or even better method, than having someone with you to press the clutch?

[@mark98070]

If I understood this correctly you are creating a vacuum to pull the fluid and any air bubbles through the system and out of through the bleeder? Also can you apply air pressure to the master to push fluid through? If so does the pedal need to be depressed? I have an internal slave that is showing signs of leaking and I'm trying to refill the system with fluid with "stop-leak" seal conditioner.

[@CMAutohaus]

Your understanding is correct. You can use a pressure bleeder to apply pressue to the master as well, pedal would not need to be depressed in this car. I would NOT use stop leak in a hydraulic system as I can almost guarantee failure wuth the amount of pressure the system generates

[@mark98070]

Something is wrong mechanically. Either sticky/binding clutch linkage or clutch parts inside the bellhousing. Ive seen a friction disc installed backwards do this before.

[@Mr.Morden]

2000 Celica here. If the fluid is dark and my clutch is sticking to the floor (I can pull it back up by hand easily) should I bleed the brakes as well or will this do the job? I did notice the brakes making a slight wooshing noise when I press the pedal. I think my initial problem cause was that the brake fluid level was way below the minimum line on the reservoir. Previous to this my clutch would not come back up from the floor, but someone else did mange to fix that for me before putting more fluid in the reservoir.

[@nodrug1667]

Did you get your answer about bleeding brakes aswell? Im stuck on that and need an aswer

[@Mr.Morden]

@@nodrug1667 Well, I thought I had. The shop told me that no fluid wasn't getting to the brakes when they tried them. So they bled out the fluid and put new fluid in. That worked for a few weeks but literally just yesterday they froze up again. It was a really hot day yesterday too, 94F. Could just be a bunch of garbage in the lines that got kicked up and it needs another flush.

Hi I agree with ooceanbreeze16. I hope you can answer my question, yesterday my clutch worked fine this morning when I went to start my car the clutch worked fine, however my pig of a ute pu ford courier 2x4 didn’t start no crank no noises, I renewed battery no start , was suggested I rock the pig I did and went inside half hour passes and it starts!!! Then this morning it not starting, a friend calls in he said he’d take a look , it didn’t start I think he had a look at starter motor couple other things , then a bit later I try starting and it did, I was happy ish so I went to drive car to mechanics and now the clutch is soft, not going into gear, no fluid leaks either now I’m very annoyed, what do u think has happened to clutch between this morning and the person going under car, what did the person touch adjust loosen to stop clutch working??? I use the ute 5 days wk to pick up the write off food from a major supermarket and I sort deliver to our church for distribution to anyone in need within the community. I think the person has deliberately sabotaged the car so he has excuse come over to keep company with me,

[@Erica.S.1111]

Reading through other questions and responses it sounds like you have air in your lines. Bleeding them should fix it if that's the case- I wouldn't assume sabotage

[@metalizawsome88]

If i wanted to bleed the brakes and clutch, which should i do first? Also i dont really have a clutch problem however when i shift into gear and let off the clutch, the pedal sticks for a second 2/3rds of the way up, should i be worried about this?

[@CMAutohaus]

Bleeding clutch or brakes first, the order shouldnt matter unless they share a reservoir - in that case bleed brake first. You should be worried about clutch pedal sticking. Some thing could be mechanically or hydraulically wrong.

[@Mark-in5yw]

That's what mine was doing before it went to the floor and stayed there. It turned out to be the clutch master cylinder. It seems that the clutch will fail to engage if the clutch master fails and will fail to disengage if the slave cylinder is bad... I'm dealing with the slave cylinder now which I have already replaced but I can't seem to get a clutch pedal now due to air in the system.

On my Nissan if you don't bleed the slave cylinder by itself you can never drive it again had the pump clutch as well though I had to do both

[@rknami]

On our 01 Frontier, I did bench bleeding, then after doing this step I had to pump the clutch 20 to 40 times, leave the pedal at the floor, open and close the slave bleed screw. Repeat at least 5 more times before the pedal began to come off the floor. Only after all that the reservoir on the master cylinder started to empty. I used an Mity Vac to get the last air bubbles (hopefully) out of the slave. Used a Tball bat hold the pedal to the floor by sliding the seat forward. I saw on a video someone use a spray bottle trigger assembly in place of a Mity Vac. Probably not as much vacuum but it might be enough. On another video I saw someone use a Mity Vac to 'pull up' small stubborn bubbles by sucking at the hole at the bottom of the reservoir. I couldn't do that with the Mity Vac accessories on the Nissan but maybe you can do that with the spray bottle trigger assembly.

If there are no air bubbles, the system is bled. Id check something mechanical. Did you get the wrong clutch kit or TOB? If the friction disk backwards? Did you install a pilot bearing when you were not supposed to?

I thought the first year they made Yaris were 2007?

[@tomskimcdouglegaming806]

@@LoveLeeMonson No way, my friends dad had the echo (that's what they call the Yaris in Australia) in the 1990s.

I need to do this on my 370

Excellent way to preserve the performance and life of your drivetrain.

[@dielaughing73]

Unfortunately the slave cylinder is inaccessible so you need someone to pump the pedal

[@Groot_G]

It seems that the rubber boot is broken.

[@MohdAzylee]

what u cant push it using your finger???

[@CMAutohaus]

Yes you can push the slave back in just with your hand.

[@feels003]

Press the clutch and hold?

[@CMAutohaus]

Air and old fluid still gets trapped inside the slave cylinder and line.

[@CMAutohaus]

@@ragnaroksangel Ah! Apologies. Yes, press and hold.

[@jirka87]

Yeah boys, and if you keep bleeding (or changing fluid) without controlling the fluid level in reservoir, you will be bleeding it for years :-D

[@CMAutohaus]

Exactly

​@@CMAutohaus Hey mate, great video very clear explanation. Thanks One question though, recently replaced rear drum cylinder was badly seized, bled system, LSV,RL,RR,FL,FR have solid pedal and braking, but experiencing a bubble effect and noise from master if I push the break with a bit of force, more noticeable with engine running. Any ideas

[@truth409]

I use this method years ago but now it doesn't work my car doesn't shift very good bleeding the slave makes it shift worse maybe it's the crappy Chinese pars that we have now?????
