how to make a simple clutch bleed kit for BMW e46

hey guys I was having trouble every time I push the clutch in for shift into 1st gear at times that’s a sign that you’re low on the reservoir Or there’s air on your system Just wanted to post this to help anyone who is struggling with bleeding the clutch system this is the way that I found it more useful and a lot easier the car runs and goes into gear the clutch is a lot harder which is a big plus, In the beginning, it was way too soft but now I can feel that there’s resistance after taking some of those air bubbles that were stuck in the clutch slave cylinder

[@SlowE46...]

-Hey bro sounds like you have a bad clutch master cylinder you may wanna replace it , thats the cheapest to start from -now it can be your clutch it self depending when was the last time you replaced the clutch or the last owner now that well be the most expensive part .

[@SmokyMountainFisher]

Did this fix your issue? Car kinda hard to get in gear in first and second

[@SlowE46...]

It helped me But you can aways give it a try maybe that can help bleed the system if it has air inside the lines but if that doesn’t help try replacing the transmission fluid

[@MrLegacyEric]

hi; i also have the same problem on my e39. clutch feels okey but cannot get into first or second gear unless i press hard and for a long time on clutch pedal to engage for the first time but when i drive its going smooth. i dont want to bleed all the brake fluid so did your trick work and have smooth changing gear when at stop?

[@SlowE46...]

try changing the gear oil that can help out a lot as well if your clutch still in good conditions and you bleed the system i recommend you try changing the gear oil on the transmission.

[@MrLegacyEric]

@@SlowE46... already changed the transmission fluid and still no change, only one thing still remains, bleeding the clutch. But i don't wanna bleed all the brake system

[@SlowE46...]

@@MrLegacyEric got it you dont need to bleed everything out they can be air trap on the slave cylinder thats what can make the clutch not engage all the way in on first gear its alot smother when driving because gears are moving you need less clutch when shifting

[@MrLegacyEric]

@@SlowE46... i see what you mean. I'll try bleeding only the clutch system as you did on the video and hope solving the problem. Thank you

[@SlowE46...]

@@MrLegacyEric no problem good luck you got this

[@pushtherear2890]

When you were bleeding it did you leave the cap on or off?

[@SlowE46...]

off soo you can keep adding fluid make sure it won't go to low
