Ok, I just replaced my slave cyclinder and clutch cyclinder, long story short, I forgot to bleed the clutch cyclinder before putting it in.. ><

How do I bleed it properly, I only wnat to do this once more, I tried searching but my computer is retarded and wont complete a search right now.

Thanks In Advance

Open the bleeder screw, have a friend pump the clutch like 5 times, on the last pump tell him/her to hold it there and then close it. Do this a few times till you see no air bubbles.

 

I did this.. your talking about the bleeder screw on the slave cyclinder right?

Because everyone has been saying I was suppose to bleed the clutch cyclinder before installing it.

Thanks Again

put a piece of rubber hose on the bleeder screw on the slave. put the other end of this hose in a container of fluid , keeping it submerged. fill the master up obviously. pump clutch 5 times , holding on the last one as mentioned. crack bleeder screw to release pressure(youl see bubbles comming out of the hose) , tighten it back on(while peddle is still depressed). let go of peddle and do it again and again till no bubbles. keeping the hose submerged is important , makes this job much easier.

What's the diff, by the way you're describing it you still need two people.

I've heard of a similiar way for bleeding brakes but it requires you to fill it up....or else you'll suck air through the top...

Asside from that...how do you hold a clutch in and tighten a screw?

At that point you need two people, so what's the difference?

 

i have no idea what your saying dude , no clue. of course you need 2 people what are you talking about? this is the proper way of doing it. said my piece.

for one thing , the difference is the last guy told him to crack the screw , pump it , than tighten it. yeah try that one.

 

I think what the OP was getting at was whether or not he needed to bench bleed the clutch master cyl, and the answer is no. Doing so is recommended for a brake master cylinder but not necessarily in this case with the clutch master. You can gravity bleed the hydraulic system since eventually your clutch fluid will run down to the slave if the bleeder screw on the slave is cracked open, but having a person pump the clutch pedal a few times to get it started is definitely helpful. Once the fluid stream starts to consistently exit the bleeder screw with no air bubbles, you should be good to go.

 

Ive tried ALL of the above.. but still no luck, if anything it continues to get worse. Starting to get irritated and frustrated.

It used to be a stream, but now its slowed to a drip with the clutch to the floor.

Any idea what could cause this?

Thanks for all the responses

Your pedal is to the floor with the bleeder screw opened or closed?

If closed, it could be caused by a leaky hydraulic system since its not holding pressure. Check your clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder, as well as your hydraulic lines, for leaks.
