i just read a question about a weird noise coming from the clutch, and i have this problem too. i just ignored it most of the time, but if its healthy to do i might as well do it. so if anybody knows, help me out. can i do this on my own (a little bit of experience nothing noteable)? how do i do it?

You can do it alone or with a buddy. Do it the gravity bleed way and you can do it yourself easily...it will just take longer.

you will still have air in the line if you do gravity way. just let someone push the clutch

 

One thing i found was weird...

I do the gravity way usually, This is my 3rd car that I have done it on... but the first one with this problem...

1. Open Res.
2. Open Bleed Valve with small tubing attached (submerged in fluid)
3. Pump pedal once to start bleeding, then pull back up slowly to the top
4. Keep topping off the res as it drains (fairly quickly)
5. Close valve and top of res. and be done.

This has worked great in the past... but it seems like air is leaking into my bleeding process via the bleeder valve or something (like around the threads?)

When I open it up and it gravity bleeds it just bubbles FOREVER... and the only thing going in is fresh fluid topped off in the master cyl.

I just dont know where all that air could be getting in between my bleeder valve and the master cyl... there are no fluid leaks ever.

IDEAS?

Or a better 1 person way to do a clutch bleed (My friends only know how to poke smot... not help with anything)

 

You can do the traditional pump method with one person...it's just a hassle going back and forth between the pedal and the slave cylinder while keeping an eye on the fluid level. If you don't have luck using the gravity method, try the pump method. I just keep pumping 'til the line has no air bubbles. Some people like to hold the pedal down before they close the screw. If you're by yourself, you can hold it down with a pedal lock or road cone like some people, though I don't find this necessary if the fluid in front of the bleeder screw is completely free of bubbles.

I just bled my clutch today using the gravity way...I have no air in my lines and my clutch works fine.

 

Just wondering, but this question is for Dillon91teg, do you have a transmission swap? Because if your username is right, and you have a 91 Integra, you have no clutch master cylinder, so you have nothing to bleed. It's a cable tranny, of course, if you have swapped a 94+ Integra tranny in with a hydraulic clutch, feel free to ignore me.

 

yeah i totally was out of a sensible state of mind when i asked this question, i forgot that my transmission was cable-operated. but then i still wonder why it is making a weird noise when the clutch is engaged? its a humming noise of sorts...

 

do a search for 'throw out bearing'

 

where do i do this search? do i do it on here or check google?

 

either one, but I was thinking h-t
