Its pretty straight foward, -remove the fluid lines -then i think there are two bolts to remove then it comes off -put the new one on, bolt it up, put the lines back -then just bleed the lines and your done
Jose, Sorry I missed your post, but I'm glad others had "chimed" in and answered. Keep pushing forward...your truck will be back to normal soon Rick
You have a leak somewhere. Clutch fluid is essentially brake fluid and does not evaporate or go bad unless it absorbs a lot of water (turns black). Check the bellhousing on your trans or puddles in your driveway or on the firewall if the paint has bubbled. Don't just fill it up with fluid again, bleed it, and assume you've fixed the problem. You will be stuck by the side of the road at some point.
I hope I'm not too late! Im having a similar issue. I had a very small hole in the small piece hard line closest to the starter (it's a long story...) anyways, got the hard line replaced with 1 off a 4wd (I was able to make it work). I'm in the process of bleeding it, BUT I have done the bled it SO MANY TIMES and I am still stuck with a non-resistance clutch pedal. any1 have any input or recommendations on wht is going on or wht I should do?
^^^ sorry if I don't make sense, I was in the middle of rewriting and forgot where I left off. I hope y'all still understand wht I'm trying to say...
Guahan... Ensure that are no leaks and once you are conviced there is no way that fluid pressure is getting out, then you are down to the master cyclinder. The system is easy, you have a master cylinder, slave cylinder and fluid. if your clutch was working fine and then all the sudden loses the pressure on the peddal, then it is 9 times out of 10 or better, that its something to do with those three components... Slave or master is bypassing fluid, OR, there is a leak where the fluid is being allowed to escape rather than build up the pressure it needs to move the slave... Good luck, there are those who HAVE and those who WILL experience clutch issues with these specific parts... cheers!
thanx for ur help! I really appreciate it! Ive tried trouble shooting it and here are a couple of things we did for tests... when i had a hole in the hard line, I stepped on the clutch and fluid was pushed out from there. replaced tht part (wit 1 off a 4wd) and noticed whn we step on the clutch, the slave cylinder has no movement. I'm thinkin of replacing the slave cylinder... this is while bleeding the clutch so many times with no progress to the tension on the clutch. does it matter tht I replaced the part wit 1 off a 4wd (same model)? it wasn't the exact same shape but pretty close.
I would make dang sure there is no air in the line before I replaced another part. The gig with air is it can be compressed, where fluid cannot. So if there is air in the line the fluid is compressing the air and not moving the Slave. You can get these little hand held bleeder kits that you can hook up to the bleeder port on the Slave and just suck fluid instead of pushing it with the pedal. I would do that before changing another part. The other way of doing it is get a piece of clear tubing that fits SNUGGLY over the bleeer port, then get a little glass container and put brake fluid in it, then put the other end of the tubing into to glass jar and pump the heck out of the clutch peddle making sure that the resevoir doesn't run out of fluid. If there is air you will see the bubbles come through the tubing. I have seen where someone is pumping the brakes or clutch pedal and while bleeding, it sucks air back into the line when the pedal is let back up. I would guess if you changed a line there is air still in them, and that is (of course) if you dont see any leakage... Good luck dude, sometimes its the easiest sh!t that can drive you crazy!
It started to feel soft again today and Ima have to bleed it again to make sure der isnt any air inside
What is the thing that connects to the clutch pedal I seen today and It was kinda leaking is it the master cylinder?
Sounds like your clutch master cylinder is leaking that's what is connected to the clutch pedal . Usually leaks down the inside of the firewall .not to bad of a replacement item
No bueno...if it gets any worse your floor boards will be swimming in dot3 and clean up is a B!t?h...unless you have vinyl floors of course
