just notice the clutch is a little loose on top,do i need new clutch

zeplin

Loose as in the pedal is loose? Or the actual clutch is slipping? If it's just the pedal all you need to do is bleed it.

pedal is loose

speed_demon018

if your pedal is loose you just need to bleed the hydralic system but if that dont work try replacing your master and slave cylinder and then bleeding it

Bingo

niceprelude

i always put the first gear to park my car,is that what cause

speed_demon018

no alot of times the seal on the master cylinder allows air in and makes bubbles and then your clutch pedal becomes soft

speed_demon018

i suggest you check you hydralic system to make sure there is no air in the lines

how to bleed it

speed_demon018

have you ever bled brakes?

niceprelude

yes

speed_demon018

ok on the transmission is the slave cylinder and on the slave cylinder is a bleeder valve, you will need a bottle filled half way with new brake fuid and a hose that fits the bleeder valve.. and then you have a buddy in your car pump the pedal three times and then open the valve and then close then repeat process til tight

so you mean my clutch is fine,just need to bleed it

speed_demon018

that would be the first step

niceprelude

do they really charge 300 to 400 just for labor for clutch,that too much a bit worry

zeplin

Bleeding a clutch takes all of 5 minutes. If you took it to a garage they'd probably charge you 30 minutes of labor..you can do it yourself. Just follow the instructions listed above, I did this today in about 3 minutes.

speed_demon018

to actually replace a clutch shops do charge about 300-400 dollars in just labor so start by bleeding the clutch hydralic system and then see where it goes from there

speed_demon018

let us know if that works or if it doesnt

as said, check for leaks fromt he clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder, drain and renew the fuild if there are no leaks, if there are leaks, id be pretty sure it will be the slave cylinder thats at fault, peal back its rubber cover and see if the fluid has gone past the seal, if so, replace

i bleed the clutch several time,i just press the clutch down and open the bleed valve and add brake fluid to the master cylinder and the clutch is still loose,but i did not use a bottle with a hole and some fluid in it ,is it absolutely require

esean93

na but u have to put the bleed valve back on immediately after some air and brake fluid squirts out.it could be ur slave or master cylinder though if u bled it right

niceprelude

yes i bleed several timeholding the pad down,i notice under the dash is little leaking on the clutch

speed_demon018

well when you bleed the clutch you pump the pedal three times and hold it and have someone open the valve then close it but if that didnt work change your master and slave cylinder

speed_demon018

and then bleed it again

there is some leaking not much on the clutch pedal,what is wrong
