Question Mityvac bleeding the clutch

How much air could be in the system ?


The air just keeps on comming !



NO leaks and the system works great....BUT the air bubbles are still comming out at a fast pace.

Clutch feels great.


The bubbles are coming up from the bottom of the reservoir.

I made the " J 43485 adapter " that the mityvac hose hooks to out of a rubber stopper and brass barb....this fits and seals perfectly in the top of the clutch reservoir.

Any more vacuum than 2.5 HG the bubbles come up at a fast pace.

Could be the hose from the reservoir to the master cylinder letting air in. Maybe try zip tying the hose on each end.

Found my problem....now what ?

Inside the car (02 ws6)....fluid is coming out of the top of the master cylinder....where the rod slides into the round rubber seal....pump the clutch pedal and fluid seeps out.

Is this serviceable or do I need a complete new master cylinder ?

You need a new master, and I would honestly recommend a unit like the Tick adjustable. You wont have hydrualic issues ever again. They are a little pricey but to me, worth everypenny.
