HELP!!!Bleeding Clutch....!!!?
HELP!!!Bleeding Clutch....!!!? I've read and read these forums before bleeding my clutch. Now I cant get the pressure to build back up in the clutch. I pump it up, loosen bleed screw, tighten bleed screw,release clutch, pump clutch....etc......I just wont build up pressure....just keeps blowing out the dot 3....what am I doing wrong.....?
get a mighty vac & pump it to 12 on the gauge. Get in the car & pump until you can't pump anymore, then switch feet & keep pumping. Then slowly release the vaccum, reinstall the bladder & fill with fluid. You should be done.
Thats how I just did mine & it works great.

Pull the little bladder out of the resovior. Suck out all the fluid so you can sdee the little hole in the bottom. Stick in a piece that barely fits in the hole & pump the vaccum up to 12. Then go pump the clutch till you think you did it way long enough. Then try to start it & run through the gears. If its bled good you should be able to shift through all the gears while sittin still with the car running. Idf not after the car is started it will not go anywhere but neutral.

pull the handle out & turn it upside down. Thats what I had to do. Its like your pullin the handle toward you, watch the gauge though. You don't want too much vaccum. You will notice it start to pull fluid up the tube even with the resovoir empty. This is coming out of the master, its ok. Once you hit 12 on the gauge put it down in the engine bay carefully so it stays sucked on. Then go pump the **** outta the clutch. I did it till both legs were tired. Then put everything back together, top off the fluid & try it out.
If not fully bled do it all over again. DO NOT pop the mighty vac out with pressure on it. It can result in problems so I have heard. I could see how it might put some air in & thats not good. You are tryin to get all the air out.
