help lose pressure in clutch

[duy35]

i change my slave and master clutch cylinder but now i lose pressure some times. do i still have air in the system? how many times should i bleed the sytem

I does sound like you still have some air in the system. You really shouldn't have to bleed it over and over though. I always have good luck with just gravity bleeding... Have you tried that? If not, just take the lid off the clutch master cylinder and crack open the bleeder on the slave cylinder and let it drip for about 5 minutes making sure to keep the fluid in the master cylinder full so it doesn't run out and get more air in the system. When you think you have run enough fluid through to get all the air out just tighten the bleeder on the slave cylinder and top off the master cylinder and you should be good to go. If you are still having the same problems you might have a loose line somewhere which is allowing air to get into the system so recheck all fittings for tightness. Good luck

I personally like reverse bleeding get a one man brake bleeder kit that pumps the fluid up into the slave. why fight airs tendency to float in a liquid just start with an empty system and pump fluid up into teh slave bleeder until the master is full.

Where do you buy one of these at? Local parts stores have them? I made a homeade one and I'm not sure it's working quite right .
