[tek9]

i have blead the clutch, my clutch pedal when i push it in goes to the floor and stays there :/ any advice on this? i had a guy take a look, he said its not the slave.. any other ideas?

Try hooking a rubber hose to your bleed screw. Immerse the other end in a container of clean, new brake fluid. Open the bleed screw, then depress the clutch. Close the bleed screw, release or pull the clutch pedal to the top. Repeat the process until you have some kind of pedal. If after several tries following this method you don't have a clutch, and you are not losing fluid, I'd look closely at the master cylinder.

Let us know. Good Luck

Did you bleed both the master and the slave? When I replaced my master cylinder, I had to bleed the master and then the slave to get any pressure at all.

no i didnt not bleed the master or slave, how do i go about doing that?

 

[tek9]

all the fluid leaked out, we bled the slave or end of the line, how would you bleed the master?

when you bleed your your clutch you need to make sure you dont let the resivoir run out of fluid or all the work you done bleeding it is wasted because you let more air back in the line. Try bleeding it again but dont let it run out of fluid. I just got through bleedign mine today. I went and bought a one-person bleeding setup only $8 at advance. And bleed it myself adn it worked fine. Just need to make sure you dont let it run out of fluid.

alright, the clutch has been bled, i get a decent pedal, but theres like an inch of play before i get stiffness. i took it for a drive, and it starts to do the same thing..

dunno what is going on.. very weird.. any ideas? i dont see anything linking from slave/master.. completly clueless here ### help!

Sounds like you still have a little air in your line, bleed again. I had these same problems when replacing my clutch. Just keep doing it, you'll get it eventually.

Yes just keep working at it. If it doesnt work then somethings broken. Dont be like me and drive around without a clutch. shit was crazy.

On the 2G there is a reservoir in line after the soft hose and before the slave. I had to crack the nut on the top of the resevoir and pump the clutch until fluid came out of the nut. Then I tightened it and rebled at the slave. Took like 4 bleedings at the slave to fully get the air out. Vacume pump would have done it quickly.

You can try to just gravity bleed. push down the clutch and loosin the bleeder screw and let it drain for a second, if nothing comes out pour fluid in while your friend is still holding the pedal until it starts running and let it run for like 15 seconds, then tighten it (make sure the cap to the fluid is on) and have him pump it and it should be good. The master cylender is at the top-most point, and fluid flows downhill. Hopefully this method helps you out.

well, found out there was a leak in my line going to the slave, replaced that and bled it, works fine now, thanks for all the help guys !
