you need 2 people

on the slave cylnder there is a little nippl that can be loosened to bleed the fluid

open the nipple have someone press the clutch, then tighten the nipple and have him release the clutch, do this as many times as you want but make sure when you stop doing it there is only fluid and no air coming out.

PS. make sure you keep an eye on your fluid level in the resevior it will going down fast. and have the person under the car wear some eye protection

thx bro. one more question, how many times would u recomend the other person dose the 3 pumps and release?

Until there is a steady stream of fluid coming out. This shows there are no air bubles. If the clutch pedal is acting up, do it some more, but you probably don't.

I've always used the nipple down by the tranny. It's got a little nipple that you can crack with a 10mm wrench

That is the slave cylinder nipple.

i bled the clutch and now it feels a bit to tight and hard to press down all the way, is there anything i can do about this or is it just gana have to stay like that?

 

[dustyb]

it stays liek that homie. most cars usually aren't a very heavy clutch. now if you want a heavy clutch, drive an older 1980s' ford ranger or f150 and you'll love your eclipse clutch forever

Just a bit of advice make sure whoever is helping you or is pumping the clutch has a pretty decent shoulder build. I felt like my arms was going to fall off I was pumping so much.

or you could just use your leg???

Ummm no you don't have to....

When there is no pressure on the clutch the pedal won't come back up when you push it down. You have to pull the clutch pedal back up and push it back down repeatedly.

Ummm no I hope you are a n00b....

WOW, you can still do it with you foot so no need to try and put someone down. Just because you have a method doesnt mean that everyone else has to do it that way, so get over yourself.

Ok, here is the best way to do it. First get a small bottle and a little hose that fits on that nipple (slave cylinder) and into that bottle. Put some fresh unused fluid into that bottle and make sure the hose in submerged. Fill the resevoir on the master cylinder with fresh fluid and have someone put pressure on the pedal. Loosen the fitting on the slave and when the pedal is about to the floor tighten it back up. This will take a good communication from the two people. Do that until the bubbles stop comming out and you shoudlbe good to go.

You need to make sure that the hose is on the bottle cause even though you think the nipple is being closed quickll it will suck air back in. With that hose submerged it will just suck in fluid.

Depending on how old the fluid is or looks you may want to flush the entire system and putt all new fluid in.

Just one more thing to add to that, put a 10mm socket through the hose and turn it (not much room for a open wrench) with a plier to bleed, and make sure to tighten it more after hose is removed.

Or, you can crack the bleeder and press in on the slave cylinder pushrod, close the bleeder and let it return. Top up the master resevoir after every 3rd cycle.

it almost feels like it enguages a bit lower now

I don't know what a stage 3 clutch is but if it's anything like a 2600, you should get one of them extended push rod for the slave cylnder. It made my 2600 engage so much better.

 

[white98gst]

how much was it?

That is a juat a bandiad for a worn out pedal assembly. It will work, but after time the pedal assembly will get worse and worse. The best, also hardest, way is to weld the pedal assembly so that there is no more slack.
