Seedy Al Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 you can bleed it by your self to be honest. You need some clear hose, a coke bottle, and some brake fluid First put a little brake fliud in the coke bottle, then insert hose so that the bottom of the hose is submerged in fluid. Than put the other end of the hose on the bleed nipple. open the nipple, making sure there is fluid in the master cylinder. Pump the pedal a few times, check the hose off the nipple for air bubbles. Keep filling up the master cylinder and pumping till you cant see any air bubbles in the clear hose. Do Not Let the Master cylinder run dry / suck air Close nipple and pump pedal to see if it feels mint, which it should. Top up fluid, And and snort some Cocaine off some strippers bellys to celebrate. Hope that isnt to confusing Seedy Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LingLing Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hey guys, The Clutch Reservor is empty and I couldn't find any other cylinders(even looked above the pedal) other than the one on the Gearbox(master cylinder?). Where is the Slave cylinder? Yeh the master cylinder is leaking and I touched the seal, it started pouring(fxxk me).. the manufacture says needs DOT3 Fluid. I just bought a DOT 4 fluid to top up the Clutch Fluid Reservor,because supercheap don't sell DOT3 no more. and the guy said it should be ok?? Anyway, I checked the price of the master cylinder it's 60 from SuperCheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LingLing Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 dot 4 is all g for it...60 aint that bad tbh... but try bnt, theyr usually cheaper...maybe cos i got cost price there so the Cylinder mounted on the gearbox is called Master Cylinder yes?

kyteler Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 No. The cylinder that the clutch pedal attaches to is the "master" the "slave" is the cylinder on the gearbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 OHHHHHHHHHHH, I see. Is master cylinder more expensive than slave cylinder? Where can you find master cylinder? do you need to take off something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 usually next to the brake master cyl brake master has the big round booster on it, the clutch master doesnt...just follow the line from the slave cyl.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Cool, It looks like I only need to replace the slave cyl anyway. How do I do that? if there is a ideal method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 yup,usually held on by 2 bolts,and the clutch hose.. loosen off the hose first,then unbolt the slave off the box,disconnect the slave from the hose(impossible usually to undo the hose if you didnt loosen it off while its on the box)...fit new one in reverse order. bleed it up....nad hope like hell its all g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
