hi i am having a stupid problem and i cant figure it out. so i am in the process of puttin my car back together 94 civic coupe, and i am trying to bleed the clutch, i have a one person vaccum bleeder that dosent work at all, and i have had another person inside the car, tried to gravity drain, i have even tried to bleed it at every fitting still nothing, and i have bleed the master like 4 or 5 times to make sure there was no air in there. so any help would be great thanx.

 

so what exactly is your problem? Is your clutch pedal feel too soft or the clutch isn't engaging?

 

i just did this to my 94 civic like a month ago.

i sat in the car and pumped the pedal like 5 times and then my dad loosened the bleeder on the front of the tranny. it took awhile like 3 full resiviors till the pedal was the way it was.

i guess im not sure what you problem is though.

 

Recently i had to bleed my clutch because all the fluid leaked out. I had to pump the pedal damn near 150 times before it actually started MOVING the clutch. If your system was near drying out or something, just pump it like 100 times, not 10, 100, and THEN have someone open and close the little screw on the slave cylinder. The bleed screw is it called?

Good luck!

 

Give us details of what the problem is.

 

interesting, i have changed a clutch and not even had to bleed it

 

well if it was completely dry, you may have to bleed the clutch master cylinder itself like you would a brake master cylinder, and then bleed out the clutch line and slave cylinder.

 

my problem is the fluid isnt going through the line at all, kinda weird. i have bleed the master more than once and the slave cylinder. the whole system was dry. is it possible that their is air getting past the seal on the slave cylinder?

 

when u pump it and open the bleeder then close it and pull the pedal off the floor it seems like it dosent even pull any fluid down the resivior. maybe i just need to be persistant with it but im unsure

 

the pedal drops to the floor cause there is air in the system, no hydralic pressure

 

you may have a bad master cylinder

 

so pump it 100 times and then hold it and open the line? and repeat or what?
