s13 clutch bleeding - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ogbryce · 02-03-2012, 09:18 PM

I've been trying to bleed my clutch but it is not working, I have a hose attached to the bleed valve into a cup my reservoir is full. I pump the pedal 500 times and the liquid /air in the line (barely any) barely moves forward usually just oscillating back and forth. I have the dampener line attached and cannot remove it because if i do and attach the hardline directly to slave it leaks (?!) I have replaced the slave and am now considering replacing the master.
Any help is appreciated

I JUST HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM, YOUR IN LUCK....WHAT I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT BLEEDING IS THAT AFTER YOU FILL RESEVIOR WITH FLUID LEAVE CAP OPEN .....OPEN BLEEDER VALVE ON SLAVE AND PUMP CLUTCH TILL YOU HAVE ONLY OIL DRAINING.... I HAD A POLYURETHANE TUBE ON MY BLEEDER VALVE SO I COULD CATCH OIL, IT ALSO HELPS CAUSE YOU CAN SEE WHEN ALL THE AIR IS OUT AND ONLY OIL IS BEING PUSHED THROUGH LINES....AT THAT POINT CLOSE BLEEDER VALVE, CHECK RESEVIOR REFILL IF NEEDED. AND PROCEED WITH BLLEDING. I POSTED IT IF YOU NED MORE HELP LOOK FOR (s13 SLAVE CYLINDER BLEEDING HELP)

Get rid of the damn dampner loop...you dont connect the hardline to the slave, you connect it to the soft line.

Thank you for that link it has given me some clarification. I thought the clutch dampener was the rubber line. I have already removed the dampening loop
