Clutch: Service and Repair

CLUTCH SYSTEM BLEEDING

Caution: To prevent damage do not spill brake fluid onto plastic or painted surfaces.

Note: The fluid in the brake master cylinder degas bottle must be maintained at the 3/4 level or higher during air bleeding. Be sure to use DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid.

Note: The clutch hydraulic system must be bled whenever a clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder tube or hydraulic clutch hose is disconnected.





1. Slowly pump the clutch pedal several times.
2. With the clutch pedal depressed, loosen the bleeder screw with 4mm hex wrench to release the fluid and air.
3. Tighten the bleeder screw.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 until no air bubbles appear in the fluid.
