Clutch Hydraulic System: Service and Repair

BLEEDING





Whenever the clutch tube, the clutch hose, and/or the clutch master cylinder have been removed, or if the clutch pedal is spongy, bleed the system.

CAUTION: Use the specified fluid. Avoid mixing different brands of fluid. Specified fluid: SAE J1703 (DOT3)





1. Loosen the bleeder screw at the clutch release cylinder.
2. Push the clutch pedal down slowly until all is expelled.
3. Hold the clutch pedal down until the bleeder is retightened.
4. Refill the clutch master cylinder with the specified fluid.

CAUTION: The rapidly-repeated operation of the clutch pedal in B-C range may cause the release cylinder's position to be forced out from the release cylinder body during the air bleeding, repress the clutch pedal after it returns to the "A" point completely.
