Yesturday I was at da mountains and my clutch started to feel soft and ut got to the point were it sunk all the way in and had to force the gears in to get home. When I got home the reservoir for the clutch was low. Does this mean my clutch is gone or air in the lines? If so how can I fix this?

 

This also just happened to me. When's the last time you topped it off? Mine ran dry. I topped it off and bled the clutch 3 times (2 man job). Now its all good. While your doing this you might as well flush all the clutch fluid and replace it with clean fluid (Dot 3 brake fluid) . If this doesnt work you may have a leak some where... all this is assuming you have a hydraulic clutch, I'm not 100% if this would be the same if you don't...sorry and good luck.

 

Sounds like you have a leak, usually its from a old and worn clutch slave, same thing happened to my friends truck as well as mine. Changed his slave,new brake fluid, bled the lines and all good.

I changed my master as well as the slave since there about the same age and the other would have gone out sooner or later.

Although the leak could be somewhere else those two are the usuall spots to check

 

Thanx bro nd yeah ima drain it nd do you know were the nipple is at to drain it?

 

Thanx toxictoyz and im going to try to bleed dem if all else fails den Ima replace the whole thing

Try to bleed it first before you replace it, You need two people to do this just did mine a month ago, Good luck

 

Thanx but I wanted to know were to bleed it from?

 

The nipple thing for bleeding is on the clutch slave, passenger side of the tranny toward the front.

 

Oh alrite so I would just need to bleed it rite? Or do I need to take it off the tranny?

 

yeah

Yeah dont remove it just bleed it there should be a nipple on it

 

Thanx bro for ur input

 

Hey Jose, yeah bro. I had to change my Clutch Slave Cylinder because it was leaking. Pretty easy job. Bleeding it was pretty easy too. When you bleed it, its just like bleeding your brakes. Pump the clutch a few times, then open the bleeder screw, let the air out then tighten the screw, pump the clutch a few times, then open the bleeder screw. Repeat until you get Satisfactory Results. I had to do it like three times to get it good. If you need help, I can help you tomorrow.

 

Thanx man I got so pist wen it happend I hate it wen sumthin happens to my baby

 

Any updates on this topic, Jose??? Sorry that happened to you.

Rick

 

Rick im about to bleed it but when I went under there was oil outside is this bad?

Well looks like your slave is leaking and thats why there was no fluid in your resivor, time for a new one!

 

Damn is it hard to replace?
