Title: clutch bleeding
Post by: wills89fj1200 on August 02, 2011, 04:10:59 PM
I think I'm close but not sure.  When I slowly pumped clutch air bubbles came up.  Did this for about 2 hours.  Now no bubbles come up but it tries to shoot fluid if I release clutch quickly.  I feel a little more pressure but don't know if I can start to bleed yet.  Any suggestions?

Oh shit.  I think I messed up somewhere.  Got pressure now but fluid leaking from slave cylinder.  Could it be I put seal on backwards?

You wouldn't be the first to do that...

Got it.  Second time around was better than the first.  Shifts good now.  Thanks randy and everyone else.  Next project is the valve cover gasket and grommets.

That job will be easier than the slave rebuild & bleeding...as long as you don'tover tighten and strip out the cam tower.
