Rep Power: 0 Bleeding clutch
Howdy! I have a 2001 EX Coupe with 65K miles. Just wondering if anyone out there has bleed their clutch yet. I've done brakes a million time, but the damn clutch is not cooperating. I'm pretty sure that all of the air bubbles are out of the line, but when I close the bleed nipple at the slave cylinder and start pumping the clutch pedal...it stays limp!
Are there any issues I need to worry about? Any tricks to beat this S.O.B?
PLEASE let me know.
Thanks!

Rep Power: 0 Why are you bleeding the clutch Slave anyway? Did you replace the Master Cylinder or Slave Cylinder or both? As far as bleeding goes its really simple, have someone sit in the car, make sure the Clutch Master Cylinder is full of fluid. Open the bleeder valve on the Slave and have your friend SLOWLY push the clutch pedal down to the floor. Once the pedal is on the floor,keep it on the floor until you close the bleeder and let the cltuch pedal back up, repeat until all the air is out of the line. Make sure the Master stays full, it shouldn't take but a couple of times before its done.
Is the car shifting okay or is there still a problem? Its possible that even though you bled the line clear of air the Master Cylinder could be bad or the Slave or both. They can have internal problems allowing the fluid to pass over the seals.
BTW just a FYI that most people don't know. The clutch has a seperate Master Cylinder from the Brake Master Cylinder, they both work the same way and are called the same thing, its just a differnt funtion of the car.

Since I use old threads regularly to figure out how to fix things, hopefully this thread necro is forgivable and useful.
