Clutch

Post by mojo98 » Mon May 04, 2020 7:54 pm

Finally got round to bleed to clutch, with the help from Janice, seemed to get loads of air out of the system,
Kept bleeding it even after the air bubbles stopped and got clear fluid.
But still a issue, so tomorrow will change the clutch master cylinder. If that doesn't sort out my issues I'll have to drop out the gearbox and change the clutch

Now somebody may help me out, Ive never bled qthe clutch before and Janice kept having the pull the clutch pedal back up during bleeding the clutch, is that normal,

Update, managed to change the clutch master cylinder, but what a job on a 24v.
I ended up taking the IM off, much easier than cutting my big fat hands to pieces, off the the old master cylinder and on the the new on, Janice and I bled to he clutch but left it until today to put the IM back on and try the car,
Oh no car would fire up but would not run, checked and double check the vac pipes, still no good, just about to take the I'm off again, then remembered Paul's car wouldn't start, after removing the IM, it turn out to be the big rubber pipe, had come off while I was refitting the IM
Car started up no problem after that, so took it for a spin to check out the clutch and no more issue changing gears 😎😎😎

Nice Job Malc and yes you do have to lift the pedal back up every stoke when bleeding the Clutch.
