SYSTEM BLEEDING

Fig. 1: Bleeding the hydraulic clutch at the clutch damper

Fig. 2: Bleeding the hydraulic clutch at the slave cylinder

NOTE: To properly bleed the system, it must be bled at the slave cylinder and at the damper. Each of these has an air bleeder on it.

  1. Connect a vinyl tube to the air bleeder on the damper and put the other end in a jar with clean clutch fluid.
  2. With the help of an assistant depressing the clutch pedal, slowly open the bleeder valve. Close the bleeder valve and release the pedal. Repeat this process until no air bubbles appear in the jar.
  3. Move the tube to the bleeder on the slave cylinder and repeat the process. Check the operation of the clutch after the bleed procedure is complete.
