Give me a couple of minutes and ill get a pic up for you...

 

This will be fine. The fluid used for your hydraulic clutch is the same as your brake fluid, DOT 3 Brake fluid.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Aralliius &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">and when i bleed all do is loosen that screw pump clutch till fluid comes out then tighten and refill resivour?

Yup you've got it. Just make sure that when you tighten it up for the last time, make sure you do it while fluid is coming out, that way you know there will be no air getting back into the line. Then fill the resivor back up to the lines on it and rock on! Hope all works out well! Thanks for the comment!

 

Oh yeah, the fluid is super cheap, 5 or 6 bucks for a big 32oz bottle. Enough to do your clutch and brakes in one bottle lol!

 

kool lol thanks alot man u r a kool dude! doing this so late for me!

 

No Problem

 

But you dont just do it once. at first your clutch pedal will not come back on its own you will have to use your hand and pump it (well someone else ) pump it a few time till you start to get fluid out. tighten put some fluid in and re do it untill the clutch comes back on its own.

dont know if i explained that right but i an see it in my head just cant type.. real easy tho and good luck.

ok so i bleed my clutch and all went well thanks agin but i still have my same problem where when i come to a stop if i just hold the clutch it wont go into first gear or 2nd i have to do a clutch kick in order for it to go in i am assuming its my shift linkage now so i gess i should look around on where to get one? i have a d16z6 motor btw

 

Is your clutch pedal going up and down without any problems when you push it?

 

ok you said pump the clutch. thats not exactly how its done. idk if you were just typing quick or if your not sure how to properly bleed a clutch. you may wanna ask someone whose done this before to help you. btw the clutch in that car can be gravity bleed.

Not trying to be a jerk, but I think he understands/knows that you cant just sit there and pour fluid in the resivor with the bleeder open while pumping the pedal till fluid comes out of the slave cylinder and hope all goes well. Which is why I said to have someone help him. One person to operate the pedal, while he is cracking the bleeder open and closed till he gets nothing but fluid coming out of the slave cylinder, and make sure that is the point where he tightens the bleeder for the last time. I use a system like this...

I have one person operate the pedal, while I crack the bleeder and fill the resivor.
I tell them to push and hold the pedal to the floor while I have the bleeder open, and when they say the pedal is on the floor, I close the bleeder.
Then if they have to (which is usually only two or three times when bleeding an empty line,) they pull the pedal back up while I put more fluid in the resivor.
Then, I crack her open again, tell them to push, and when they say its on the floor, I close the bleeder.
Usually about 5 minutes of this, at most, bleeds the system fine. Ive bled many hydraulically operated manual transmissions over the past 5 or 6 years, trucks and cars, and have never had a problem with my method. I think its a pretty common method too.

 

so you open the line, pump/hold clutch and then close line and repeat?

first off pump 5-10 pumps and hold the clutch, once the clutch is held down open the line until the fluid comes out, then close it. redue these steps until the clutch is back to its normal pressure.

 

My clutch has been very soft and I can't engage the shifter in unless the clutch is fully pressed down. Would bleeding my clutch fix this problem or is it time to replace the clutch? Car hasn't really been driven much due to the car being stolen. Any help would be appreciated.

 

itrs a very common method i agree. but not everyone knows that. more info than nessessary is better than not enough. i assumed if he read that and realized he may not be doing it right hed ask how. i wasnt insulting him. and the fact is theres been many times i need to bleed a clutch and had no one to help. so i had to gravity bleed it. i know when i post a question i dont always get the answer i need. so i try and help people when i dont see much info. anyway i dont really care what you think and i know now hes got what he needs to know.

 

does it look i need to bleed the clutch or put in a new clutch? any help would be appreciated.

 

Id try bleeding it before you buy a new clutch! Try that out first, since its the easier and cheaper of the two. If it doesnt work, you might need a clutch.

The thing is, that's how I do mine...no hope needed. Put a hose on the end of the bleeder bolt and submerge it into a bottle of clean brake fluid. Crack open the bolt. While monitoring the resovoir level, start pumping (and topping off) until clear fluid comes out. Close the bleeder when done.

Bleeding it like a brake system works too, but there isn't a "need" to pump and hold.
