Clutch fluid won't bleed.
I'm trying to replace the clutch fluid and I have gotten very little fluid to come out of the bleeder valve. I took the banjo bolt off as well and fluid won't come out. The reservoir is a little bit before low and I have tried pressing the clutch with the valve open pumping the pedal but nothing..

Is your clutch pedal adjusted properly? Does the piston in the master cylinder fully extend?
|
That is something I haven't thought of or checked.

Pump the pedal with the valve closed. Then while the pedal is depressed crack the bleeder to let the pressure/air/fluid out and then close. Then rinse and repeat till happy. Make sure the reservoir stays full. |
Here are the directions from the manual:
https://demos.starbase7.net/t3Portal...25614208530803 Key point: Never release the clutch pedal while the bleeder is open. That will just suck air into the system which isn't what you want to do. Also, never let the reservoar go empty. |
I'm pumping with the valve closed and then open it when the pedal is pressed and doing that process for 15 minutes no fluid is coming out. I'm going to get a vacuum bleeder and try to pull any air out.

I got my clutch working. Had to press the clutch pedal loosen the bleeder and press fork pin on the slave towards me to force air out. Then I put a hose on the bleeder with some fluid in it and opened the bleeder and slowly pressed the clutch. This also forced the rest of the fluid out.

I'll guess that air got into the system one way or another. Try just giving it a good bleed. The clutch is self-adjusting. Improper adjustment of the clutch pedal linkage is a different thing. If it was ok before the clutch job, it's ok now. |
