no pedal pressure from clutch
im NOT done with my clutch install but almost there...i just need to put the axles, suspension, and a few other things in...question is will the clutch have pedal pressure after i bleed it or what? because theres none right now...and how exactly do i bleed it? i dont want to put everything back together and not have a working clutch...also when replacing the throwout bearing is the fork supposed to be loose because when i was putting my tranny back in the fork and bearing were almost falling out and i had to have a friend holding it
I believe you bleed it through the clutch slave cylinder.
Look between your radiator and tranny/engine and you should see it.
You should have pedal pressure after you do this. There is probably air in the lines, and this will take away pedal pressure.

this is what i did and i started this thread knowing nothing and it worked for me.
1. open your resevoir cap and make sure there is fluid in side. if not fill it up. use DOT3 brake fluid. then put the cap back on.
2. then locate your bleeder and attach a 6-8 inch hose to the end of your bleeder. best choice is a see thru hose from a fish tank or something.
3. now take a clear bottle and cut it in half fill it half way up with brake fluid, and place under the see thru hose. make sure that the hose is submerged in the bottle of brake fluid so this way u can see if if there is air in your lines and also to keep air from going right back in thru the bleeder.
4. tools to use: adjustable wrench is fine. now have a buddy pump ur clutch 5 times then hold it down. then open the bleeder, u should see if ther is air in your lines.
5. now close the bleeder and you will have to pull the cutch pedal up manually. but by now u should have very little pressure.
6. repeat steps 4 and 5 several times, about 5-8 times. then check your fluid level and make sure the cap is on when you are pumping the clutch and bleeding it.
now if u feel u have bled the clutch enough and feel all the air is out and still barely have pressure pull the clutch all the way up and keep pumping the clutch for about 2-3 minutes to build pressure in the lines then pull the clutch all the way back up and pump some more, by now there should be plenty pressure.
i hope this helps for you
