I was going to help you but now I decided that you're a huge asshat. Good luck not being completely mentally retarded next time. Jesus Christ - it doesn't even take two people to bleed the clutch. You don't have to shut the valve between pumps and only a complete ******* moron runs it dry on fluid. Also, it shouldn't take more than 40 seconds of pumping and filling to get it completely full of fluid.

 

you asked for suggestions. if you wanted to know how to bleed a clutch, ask that. i am assuming you know, that's what i get, i've made an *** out of you and me. good game, plz leave HT. Thanks Archi! I'm not the only one who sees how ridiculously defensive you get.

i laughed so hard at this thread.

 

dumb ***

 

here is how you fix it.

keep bleeding and WATCH THE FLUID

once you get no bubbles stop bleeding it. but now unfortunately you have to push all the fluid out.

i did this myself when changing my old clutch MC. i was using a one man bleed kit and didnt check it in time.

it just takes about an extra 30 mins to bleed it all back out. so be patient and pay attention

 

To the assclown creator of this thread...
Go to Wal Mart, buy 6' of clear fishtank tubing.
Hook one side to the bleeder, and run the other side back up to your fluid resevoir.
Fill resevoir and crack the bleeder open. Pump away for a good 2 minutes.
Keep an eye on the fluid level for the first few pumps since you're getting rid of air.

This will fix your problem.

Now quit being a ******* douche bag to people and tell your dad to stay the hell away from your car.

 

i can't believe the nerve of some of you people. you ask for help, and when you get a response you bitch about it. go buy a manual for your car you piece of ****.

 

I've found that the best way to do this is to use a hand-operated vacuum pump or vacuum tester with a resevoir. I believe you can find these at your local auto parts store. Attatch the suction end of the pump to the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder and pump away, while carefully monitoring the mc and adding fluid as needed. It'll suck it through pretty quickly so be ready. After you've got fluid flowing through it, disconnect the pump and bleed it like a brake line to get any excess air out. The whole process should take like 15 minutes and it's a hell of a lot more reliable than doing the whole goddamn thing by hand.

Good luck!

 

While all of these responses are correct - mostly - it's much easier to just crack the valve, fill the master cylinder with fluid and use your hand to pump the clutch pedal. Whoever said it takes 30 minutes to do is higher than a kite. I bleed all my clutches the way I just described, and I've never ever had a problem. Takes me less than one minute and I do it by myself.
