Re: Need help bleeding clutch

retodd,

Have you replaced that flex hose for the clutch slave cylinder behind the engine? It is about 8" long I think and could be a good spot to be pulling in air. My truck is having the same issues, ie: bleeding down at a stop light. And that is after replacing both the m/c and s/c.

I'm about to pull mine this week and have a new one made up. Other than that, it is just like bleeding brakes. The best way to ensure you don't pull air back into the system is to fill a little water bottle or something half way with brake fluid, stick a hose on the bleed nipple and put the other end into the fluid and, make sure it doesn't come out of the fluid while bleeding. You should see air bubbles coming up in the fluid, if there is any.

Hope this helps.
