| Fig. 1: 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.
- Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions in the beginning
of this section.
- Connect a vinyl tube to the air bleeder on the damper and put the other
end in a jar with clean clutch fluid.
NOTE: Do not let the fluid level fall too low in the master
cylinder. Do not release the pedal with the bleeder open.
- 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.
- 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.
