how do u bleeding clutch i have a 94 honda civic dx

 

should be a link in the D.I.Y. but basically just like bleeding your brakes!

 

what D.I.Y.

 

Do It Yourself

 

tight all the fittings.
fill fluid.
have somone pump the pedal.
every 5-10 pumps TELL HIM TO HOLD THE PEDAL DOWN and open the bleeding screw that is on the slave cylinder. until you stop seeing air coming out with the fluid. then tight the screw and tell him to pump it agian.

do that several times until the pedal feels good.

make sure that the person inside the car will hold the pedal all the way down while you relese the screw.

 

do not pump the clutch pedal. just push it to the floor, open bleeder, close bleeder, lift the pedal, repeat. do this until there is a steady stream of fluid without air. pumping the pedal multiple times between opening/closing the bleeder aerates the fluid and makes bleeding take alot longer.

 

Helms. It answers questions good.

Start off by putting a piece of clear hose over the bleeder nipple on the slave cylinder. Put the other end into a bottle (like a dry Aquafina bottle) that already has some clean brake fluid in it. Crack open the bleeder screw. Slowly push the clutch pedal down and back up until you get clear bubble free fluid. Make sure to not let the resovoir go empty while doing this.

If you don't have a friend to help you, you can get a Speed Bleeder for the clutch slave, and it makes it quite simple to do the job yourself. The same applies to bleeding brakes.
