SELF BLEED CLUTCH LINE & Change Slave Cylinder | Honda & Acura

[@lindarampenthal9448]

Thank you so much! My husband died close to a year ago and I can't afford to take it to a repair shop. I was beginning to panic because I have to work tomorrow and the person who said they would help me is a no show. I was amazed to see I could do this by myself and I am thanking God for you right now and I am not so stressed out Thank you, thank you, thank you, and God bless you!

A trick I have used for years on the bleed bottle is put a couple of steel nuts inside of it to give it some ballast weight and keep the cap on it and drill a hole to fit. Great video, very well explained. I am a retired aircraft mechanic, 21 years, USCG. Keep up the good work.

[@EngineeredMojo]

Thanks for the feedback and tip! Always like to hear from folks with experience. I'm definitely going to use the nuts as ballast to give bottle stability. Save some hydraulic fluid on future bleed jobs

[@mark-wn5ek]

This is a well explained tutorial on this repair, performed by a nice, well groomed, young man. Yes, it matters. I'm old school and it's refreshing to know there's a few in the succeeding generations that are articulate and well mannered. Great job.

[@praisethelord8750]

@@bruhh8908 nah he lowkey a pos for that. Little things like that matter bro imagine if everyone just dumped all their fluids onto the street like that when working on vehicles. You probably don’t use the brain God gave you to think about things thoroughly enough though.

[@vevenaneathna]

@@praisethelord8750 dot 3 brake fluid is 98% glycol ether, usually the Methoxyethanol variety. it is biologically active and degraded into co2 and water by most air breathing bacteria. it also soaks into the road which before they called it asphalt they called it oil-tar because thats what it is, billions of gallons of heavy chain crude oil are mixed with rock and heated up every year to maintain roads, and they are then just dumped by the cubic yard onto the road. but no one looses their mind about the ecological impact of roads (because there basically is none if done responsibly). you should be more mad about local gov switching to cheap sodium chloride as deicer instead of more expensive calcium chloride because it rusts the bottom off of cars (causing an eco impact for needing to make new cars) and also causes more freeze-thaw cycles causing potholes and road degradation requiring more oil-tar to be manufactured and poured onto the ground. airports go through thousands of gallons of deicer each year which is usually a mix of the same thing as dot3 brake fluid, but no one goes on youtube and has an aneurysm in the comment sections. yeah maybe he should put a drip pan down or a towel, but then what? where in the world do you take a couple ounces of brake fluid to be recycled? you dont, you just throw it away. atleast the road will be recycled one day and the glycol ether will probably get cross linked into the next oil-tar mixture and become a parking lot. but thanks for your concern

Great job of explaining the concept of bleeding the air out of the slave drive regardless of what ever you are working on. No big deal on a couple of drops on the ground or cement, a little section of news paper will work as well in collecting the fluid as anything then throw it a trash can. You went to a lot of work in making video, kudos to you.

Buddy, thanks a lot for a very nice DIY video. Your time and efforts are well appreciated. I was kind of hesitant to do it by myself for my 2001 Accord but I guess, now I will do it. I read many of the comments - nice ones and bad ones. It was a nice background music - surely didn't need acid rock/heavy metal/hip hop/rap even classic rock or what not (this is in response to people who complained that it was sleepy and funeral home music. For them, they really need to know that everything has its place - hip hop will not do any justice to a non musical work). I know you can not say it but I CAN.

[@juniorboyd6974]

Thanks for video. I bought a work truck and had a guy try and help me bleed the slave cylinder. I asked him if he knew how. He said yeah I’ve done it lots of times. Few days before that my cousin told me that I would need a clear line and this guy didn’t use one. Well long story short , bled the line 3 times and not once using a clear line. So I’m sure just loosening the bleed screw & pumping clutch only to tighten the screw back allowed air back in.

[@EngineeredMojo]

Oh yea, it's hard to due a self bleed without a clear snug fitting line. No good way to tell if airbis being pushed out of the cylinder. Hopefully the video was helpful enough and gets you on the right track! Appreciate the feedback and background of your story :)

[@justjonzing3636]

Nice of u to take the time to make this. Couple of things I disagree with. One, there was lots of air in the pipe, which would've gotten sucked in before any fluid from the water bottle, which deems the bottle unnecessary. Two, the empty water bottle looked foggy with droplets of water. I usually rinse the bottle with whatever liquid ur gonna be filling it up with.

[@EngineeredMojo]

I'd advice you to watch the video closer again, no fluid is being sucked from the bottle. It's only there to catch discarded fluid and be able to dispose of old fluid properly. It's a tried and true process if done correctly. Give it a try :)

[@justjonzing3636]

oh really? ok. yes, im gonna change my slave cylinder today or tomorrow. i agree that it will catch the old stuff from the line, but im still unclear why you poured good brake fluid into the water bottle before catching the old stuff?

[@EngineeredMojo]

@@justjonzing3636 Good question, I put the new liquid in the bottle for two reasons, 1. to provide weight in the bottle so when old liquid is pumped in it doesn't want to tip, I've had that happen :/ and 2. when I crack the bleed screw a rush of air won't enter the slave cylinder since the line will be fully submerged on the exit side causing a pressure equilibrium. Think of a straw scenario when you hold one end the liquid suspends. It just allows the air bubbles to bleed out faster and reduces less outside air from coming in.

[@EngineeredMojo]

@@calumwilson1120 you can use a regular wrench, but there is a higher chance you'll strip the nut on the hydraulic line. I'd probably use a pair of channel lock pliers before a wrench

[@calumwilson1120]

@@EngineeredMojo i see? do you know why regular wrenches cause it to strip easier? sorry for the questions, just like to know this stuff for future reference

[@EngineeredMojo]

@@calumwilson1120 no problem at all, it's because a regular wrench only grabs a nut by two sides. Unless you have a high quality wrench, there will be a bit of slippage while attempting to loosen the nut on the hydraulic line. All it takes is one slip too far and the nut is damaged. A flare nut will wrap around almost all the way, creating a snug fit and allowing you to apply additional removal torque with less chance to slip and strip.

[@morecowbell235]

I like your video. You did a good job explaining things. I'd suggest some vacuum plugs to cap and avoid spills, as well as a catch pan for any oil / fluid missed. I think amazon sells kits of different sizes for cheap.

Thanks for making such a great video on this. It's been several years since I've done this repair and I forgot the steps (may still have my old bottle with the drilled-out cap lying around!). One thing I can't remember: how do you know when you've finished the bleed? Is it that the pedal becomes rigid for its full swing to the floor? I also thought there was something where you had to keep closing and opening the bleed valve .. but maybe that was if you're doing it without a bottle. Thanks again!

[@EngineeredMojo]

Appreciate the solid feedback on the video, thanks! I stop the bleed process once I see a full tube line with no bubbles. Also, yes, with using a bottle, there is no need to keep opening and closing the bleeder screw. The fluid inside the bottle makes sure no suction of air occurs back into your line. Hope that helps!

[@EngineeredMojo]

Ahh dang maybe bad luck on part quality. I know aftermarket slave cylinders are notorious for leaking, but usually OEM is solid quality

[@FreonTheFrozen]

My question is what does that silver knob at the end connect to? Is it a magnetic connection or what? The thing that goes inside the boot.

[@EngineeredMojo]

It's just a knob that pushes the shift fork arm, there is a bowl indentation on the shift fork inside the boot. That's my best guess, hope that helps!

[@FreonTheFrozen]

@@EngineeredMojo Thanks I watched another video which then I understood the concept. It's a essentially a piston that get pushed with the pressure on the line and it's pushed it outwards which then pushes the indentation on the clutch fork. Thanks for your reply ✌️

[@Imposter407]

Hi. First of all great video!! Secondly I wish to ask if you're clutch was loosing fluid before replacing the sleeve. I have a civic mk8 2.2 and sometimes the pedal it's soft, sometimes hard and sometimes wouldn't go in gear. There is no leak I can see. Thx

[@EngineeredMojo]

Thanks for the feedback! And yes I was loosing fluid at the slave cylinder near the pushrod. I've also, different time, had it where I was losing fluid at the master cylinder at the firewall. I couldn't see the fluid being lost at the slave cylinder, but I could at the master cylinder given the small stream trickling down the firewall. Your problem sounds like a random air bubbleb is getting intermittently caught in the line. I'd try to bleed your system if you think your slave cylinder and master cylinder are okay

[@Imposter407]

@@EngineeredMojo I did flush the clutch and the fluid was like mud. Now I got fresh fluid and the problem still there. I heard someone saying that the seal inside sleeve cylinder may be damage because of the bad fluid it has before. I will change it this weekend and I will update :)

[@EngineeredMojo]

@@Imposter407 ahh makes sense, good luck and yea provide an update if you can! Good info I can add to my mental toolbox haha

[@Zebsachillin]

I would add to put a cup or something to catch the Brake fluid. Don't let it drip on the ground.

[@EngineeredMojo]

Oh yea definitely caught that mistake, good tip and for sure it helps the environment. I'd add to properly dispose of fluid as well at a local auto parts store! :)

[@IW5M2015]

Did you fill up the slave cylinder with brake fluid before mounting it up? Just asking for personal advice

[@EngineeredMojo]

I did not, mounted it empty and bleed the system to pressurize and fill the slave cylinder. Good question

[@dwaynemadsen964]

Since there is a bit of "soft line" prior to the slave cylinder, what do you think of clamping that soft line closed prior to removing the line from the cylinder, maybe prevent a good amount of fluid from leaking while you replace the cylinder, then remove the clamp (locking pliers, etc.) and finish as shown? Saw this technique used on a brake line. Made bleeding the brakes a lot faster. Also, what jcheeseman21 said, drip pan and gloves!

[@EngineeredMojo]

Mark Dwayne Madsen man that's good advice, I'm always trying to reduce fluid loss to reduce air intrusion in the lines and just create less mess. I'll be using that technique for sure next go around; thanks!

[@mikelane3611]

Excellent video. Thank you. Enjoyed the Beethoven too...unexpected! Will be trying this on my 2001 CRV tomorrow. Hope it fixes my not being able to shift into gear. Does the slave cylinder just sit inside that boot on the left side? You don't remove that boot/cover?

[@EngineeredMojo]

Haha, I like to listen to calming music while doing car repairs. Figured people wouldn't mind similar music while learning about a repair. You are spot on, the slave cylinder sits in the boot and the boot is just a protective cover. you can remove the boot ( it has grooves that wedge inside the transmission housing) or you can leave it on while replacing the slave cylinder. Typically I'll take it off just so I can maneuver it around the slave (better views of how the cylinder is mounting) while I'm installing then I'll pop the grooves back into the transmission housing once I get slave cylinder mount bolts in place.

[@frankramirez5357]

This is Frank..(again) This video very simple and a do it yourself project.. Now on Newer or certain types of Vehicles.. Where... Slave Cylinder.. is located in Transmission housing..Do you also know a simlpe step by step of how to bleed (slave and adjust clutch.) . Seems like a (two) person project. P.S.- your back ground music isn't Funeral..no need to change.. It's soothing to the Ears...

[@EngineeredMojo]

haha I appreciate the appreciation of the background music. I try to play music that will be calming since working on a car can be stressful! Unfortunately I do not have a video yet on that type of slave cylinder bleed procedure. I will add to my list since it has come up a few times, thanks for drawing my attention to the need for that type of video

[@BayardoJSaenz]

Hey, great video, I have a problem, could be air in the line, I recently change the master cylinder, but after a weeks the car have some problem to move forward, untill get stuck. Would be a broken slave cylinder or just air?

[@EngineeredMojo]

I'd check your slave cylinder to see if there are any visible leaks. Typically its noticeable. If nothing noticeable, I'd rebleed the system to purge potential air and see if that helps. Itll be noticeable if you slave cylinder is faulty as your car wont engage gears even after a proper bleed. Hope that helps!

[@lylewheeler8915]

the funeral music killed me man

[@EngineeredMojo]

It was a sad day for me fixing my slave cylinder

[@tristendouglas8669]

Good video, don't forget to clean up that brake fluid off of the ground 😂

[@EngineeredMojo]

Haha good reminder, I sure did slop that up afterward. Brake fluid is nasty stuff

[@chachi_luna]

just bought an 06 tsx and the previous owner said he replaced both master and slave cylinder but today the pedal did the same thing as in the beginning of this video, it is considerably hotter here than where the car was in, i doubt that had an effect to this magnitude. what do you think?

[@EngineeredMojo]

chachi luna it's possible that they didn't bleed system correctly and there is still air in the lines. I'd rebelled the system and see how the pedal feels. If it feels the same check for leaks around the slave cylinder or master

[@chachi_luna]

Thank you

[@christophermeza3332]

Hey man you might be able to help me. I have a 2002 Honda civic Manuel transmission. Today I put it in gear. I gave it some gas and it jerked than stalled on me... For 2 hours it didn't start. It turned over but no start... After 2 hours I gave it another try and it started without issue... Do you know what the problem would be?

[@EngineeredMojo]

Hmm that's a tough one. Personally whenever I have a no start issue I always start with the basics and verify fuel, ignition, then compression. Make sure you have adequate pressure in your fuel line, then I would check spark at plugs and test the starter. If all that checks out, compression and leak down test would be my next move

Hey so I have an 03 kia spectra and about a year ago the clutch pedal started sticking to the floor so my dad and I replaced the slave cylinder and bled it. Now every 2 months ish the same thing happens, but now we just bleed it. The issue is, my dad just bleeds it into an oil pan, so I was wondering if that is the reason air keeps getting back in the line? I don't know anything about cars so I just went with what he said but after my own research and vids like this, I think the way we are bleeding it is the issue. Any thoughts? Thanks :)

[@EngineeredMojo]

Your self diagnosis sounds spot on. Since your dad is bleeding the line into the free air/pan the system is never truly isolated from air intrusion. I'd try attaching a clear line and fully submerging in the oil pan or a small bottle on the next bleed attempt. Hope that helps!
