Air in clutch.

[krummel45]

I have air clutch and i dont know where its coming from, is there any way to tell of check where its coming from?

thanks,

UPDATE: I just went out side to drive my car and the clutch is now going all the waty to floor where as before it would go most of the way. What would do this, if theres air in the hydrolicsystem how does it get out with out it being bled?

The thing is i had a new clutch put in and i drove it home but when i got there i could not push the clutch all the way to the floor and it started slipping so i knew there was air in the line. I beld the system and air came out got everything where i wanted it and i thought the problem was fixed. Well yesterday i wnet to dirve it and every thing was fine for like 40 min and then the problem came back i could not push the clutch all the way to the floor. I let it sit for like and hour went out and the clutch was fine. What could bve causing this?

Make sure the clutch pedal is adjusted properly

the clutch is adjusted correctly and it dissengages and engages fine when the air is not there. I think the air goes into some kind of reservore and then slips doen when it gets hot causing it to slip. But what i dont understand is that if i bleed it and works fine where does it come form. Does this sound like an upper adjuster problem if so what do i need to do to fix it.

thanks

air in the line would make the pedal go to the floor and/or give it a spongy feeling, it wouldn't prevent you from pushing the clutch pedal all the way to the floor. I was thinking more of the pedal pumping up as described in the link in my first reply, which would explain the slipping clutch and increased pedal effort.

So what do i do to adjust it i did not really understand the write up.

You'll have to get under the dash. On the clutch pedal, there is a small pin that holds a small metal rod in place. You remove the pin and slide the rod out. This will let you swing the c-bracket on your clutch cylinder to one side and either adjust it out or in by rotating the c-bracket.
