T56 Bleeding Technique
Just wanted to share the experience I had bleeding the clutch hydraulics of my 00 Formula. So I had a very weak clutch pedal and decided to replace my clutch master cylinder. I bought an Autozone master cylinder. I tried bleeding it but couldn't get it to work right. I search online for a few techniques and most of them involved using a vacuum pump. I didnt have one and it was 12am so no auto parts were open in my area. Then I wondered what would happen if I pumped brake fluid into the hydraulic system. So, I grabbed a syringe I used to pump fluid on my differential and filled it with brake fluid. After pumping the fluid thru the little hole in the reservoir for 2 times my clutch pedal was all the way up like it should be. I dont remember it ever being like that. So, I just wanted to see what other people think about the method that I used to bleed my clutch. When I did this I wasn't expecting it to work. My clutch hydraulics aren't perfect, and the pedal still gets softer at high rpm shifts. I will definitely buy a tick master once I save some cash but just want to be able to drive my car for now.
