Ok I tried bleading my clutch system, and now the clutch pedal goes down and stays down, I think it because, all the fluid came out when I opened the little nipple thingy, can someone walk me through on how to do it so I can drive my car???
Thank you

Moved to drivetrain

Are you still trying to bleed the system? Or done?

 

I kinda gave up till I get some info, the chilton manual didnt really help me

Did you open the bleeder valve to release all the air out? If so, then you need to bleed it out of the clutch piping connector.

 

Last time that happened to me was when I blew my slaigh cylinder. You might want to check it and see if it's leaking any fluid or maybe it sucked in some air.

 

and make sure the master doesnt go dry... each time you let fluid out from the nipple, the level goes down in the master, if it runs out, you'll just pull more air into it, and run out of fluid.

that would suck

 

I bled the system, I took off the clutch damper, that made it alot easier. And o yea I did let all the fluid out at first lol, so I had along time ahead of me.

so then its just like bleeding a brake system. and it takes two people, one to pump the pedal and then HOLD IT DOWN, and then another to go under the car and crack the nipple and let fluid out.

so unless something is broke or failing, then you shouldnt have any trouble.

 

Get a small air compressor( no person should be without one. Get the largest you can ).
Buy yourself a self bleed brake & clutch system. Like the EZ-bleed. They run about $40-50.
I do 98% of everything myself with no one else around.

Invest a little cash into your own tools & you will save TONS from not having to have someone else do it. The tools will pay for themself in no time.

 

forgot about those, sorry... but question on the self bleeding, when you crack the nipple on the brakes or the clutch, the pedal will loose its pressure and it moves closer to the firewall. so then what?

 

No it wont.

 

OK, I did it with my friend it wasnt that hard after I got the whole thing done, just some patients and streatching, I also ditched the damper box, the pedal feels stiffer and more responsize now.

O yea I have an air compressor with an impact gun, grinder, air wrench and a air chizel. No bleading kit though.
