The clutch system in your vehicle most likely works very similarly to your brake system. In most cases, it may even use brake fluid as its working fluid. If you drive a classic car or truck you may have a mechanical clutch meaning it operates by a system of levers, pivot points and connecting rods to translate the movement of the clutch pedal into movement of your clutch pressure plate releasing the clutch. New cars use hydraulic clutch systems because they are much simpler to install, take up less space and do not require adjustment as your clutch wears down.If you have replaced the clutch slave or master cylinder, the lines, or simply changed the fluid, you need to do an adequate job removing the air from the system before your clutch will work properly. This procedure is called “bleeding” your clutch system by most mechanics and is important because air in a hydraulic system will cause it to malfunction.

As you press the clutch pedal, the master cylinder forces hydraulic fluid, in this case brake fluid, down through the line into the slave cylinder. The pressure of this fluid will cause the slave cylinder to activate, pushing your clutch fork and disengaging your clutch. If there is air in the system, that air bubble can compress. This compressing air bubble will absorb much of the fluid being sent from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder keeping the slave cylinder from actuating as far as it should, or even at all. If the slave cylinder does not travel as far as it should, your clutch will not fully disengage making it difficult to shift your transmission, especially into 1 st gear from a stop.To remove the air from your clutch system you need to push or pull the air down through the fluid line to the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder. To keep things clean you should attach a tube to the nipple on the bleeder valve. If you use a clear tube it can be easy to see when all the air has exited the system.

The easiest way to bleed the clutch is to use a vacuum pump to pull the fluid and air out of the system while keeping the clutch fluid reservoir topped off. Continue pumping fluid from the bleeder valve until you no longer see air bubbles in the fluid. If you do not have a vacuum pump, you can do this manually with a friend.With the bleeder valve closed, have your friend depress the clutch pedal as far as they can.

Open the bleeder valve and allow the fluid to run out until it slows down, while your friend maintains pressure on the clutch pedal. When the fluid flow slows, while your friend still has pressure on the clutch pedal, close the bleeder valve. Let the clutch pedal back up and repeat the process. Continue this process until no more air bubbles are seen exiting the bleeder valve. Your friend should feel the pedal “stiffen up” as you complete this process as air is easier to compress than the clutch plate release springs.When you have completed this procedure make sure the bleeder valve is tightly closed, and go for a test drive!Pictures provided by: www.vospers.com and www.s2ki.com20 responses to “ How to Bleed a Clutch”.

LDV Maxus - What a dreadful van. I have been given a LWB High-top Maxus van whilst my VW Transporter is in for service. The LDV is appalling! It has done only 5000 miles and is the second one of these I have driven and the first was just as bad. Awful gearchange, turbo kicks in at the wrong time, naff interior, controls all over the place. Diesels accelerating - big clouds of black smoke- explain?? Usually happens when the engine is driven gently for a while then hard acceleration. The first time I booted mine she coughed. You can also decarbonize parts of the combustion chamber by starting up the hill, slamming the pedal to the floor and shifting to second gear and wringing it out, If you see a cloud of black smoke the problem will go away for a few days. If you do that often, there will be a new motor or car in your future. Everything has drawbacks.

Frank,Thanks for your question about your F250. While you’re bleeding the clutch always make sure the reservoir cap is off and FULL of fluid. There are two things you might consider trying. First if you remove the slave cylinder, you can try cycling the slave cylinder by hand to try and remove the air from the cylinder, then you might have better luck bleeding it. Also, you may consider using a vacuum pump (available at most parts stores) to add vacuum to the bleeder. This way you’ll both be pushing fluid down with the brake pedal and drawing it through with the vacuum which can help remove stubborn air pockets. Dale,Thanks for your question about your clutch.

When installing a new master cylinder it is often a good idea to “bench bleed” it before installing meaning you fill the reservoir with fluid, but the cylinder in a vice and bleed it to work fluid through it before attaching the hydraulic line. You can try this without removing anything by simply removing the line from the master cylinder and cycling the pedal a few times being careful to catch the fluid and to keep the reservoir full.If that doesn’t work make sure the line is very tight (try using line wrenches to tighten) and make sure the slave cylinder is properly aligned with the clutch fork.Thanks again for your question!-BD Auto Pro. I recently replaced my clutch master cylinder and Slave cylinder on my 05 Honda Civic.

I did the bleeding process as you described and no bubbles left the Slave when bleeding, but no pressure gets built on the pedal. I’ve bled it for hours but nothing changes. I used a clear hose on the slave nipple to prevent any air from entering through the slave and to pay attention for any air pockets that may leave the line. After hours of bleeding, no bubbles are seen when bleeding but no pressure is building on the pedal.

I’ve replaced the slave and master with the same results. Is there anything else it might be?. Jose,If there is air in your line, one thing you can try is removing the line from the master cylinder and bleeding it from their to try and let any air out that may be trapped at the top of the system. If that doesn’t work, the problem may actually be with the mounting of your slave cylinder. If the slave cylinder isn’t properly aligned on the clutch fork or the clutch fork isn’t engaged in the throwout bearing, it would feel like there isn’t any pedal pressure so we could recommend checking that as well.Thanks again for your question!-BD Auto Pro. Rick,Thanks for your question about your Ranger.

Most vehicles with external slave cylinders do have it located on the driver’s side as that is closer to the pedal assembly. The best way to make sure you’re got the right component is to follow the hydraulic line down from the master cylinder in the engine bay. The master cylinder will be outside of the brake booster and be smaller. If you can find that line, follow it down under your truck until it connects to the slave.Thanks again for your question!-BD Auto Pro. David,Thanks for your question about your Cougar.

Based on your description and the work done it does sound like your clutch is not disengaging. First, we’d recommend having a friend operate the clutch pedal while you watch the slave cylinder to make sure the slave cylinder is actually operating. If the slave cylinder doesn’t move with the clutch pedal then you will need to continue to bleed the system and may consider using a vacuum bleeder to aid in moving the fluid through.If the slave cylinder is moving with the clutch pedal then you clutch fork is most likely not properly aligned with the throwout bearing or pivot point which is keeping it from disengaging the clutch. If that is the case, make sure the end of the clutch fork is properly riding on the throwout bearing and contacting the pivot in the middle.Thanks again for your question!-BD Auto Pro. Ryan,Thanks for your question about your Forester. It sounds like you may have a bad slave cylinder in your clutch system. That could possibly keep your pedal stuck down and may also allow pressure to bleed past the piston allowing your clutch to slowly start to engage even if you have the pedal fully depressed.

First, we’d recommend taking your car back to the shop that did the work as it is possible that they damaged something during the clutch replacement. If that doesn’t work you may consider having someone else operate your clutch pedal while watching the slave cylinder for movement to see if there is a lag in operation or an inability to hold pressure. If either is the case you should replace your slave cylinder.Thanks again for your question!-BD Auto Pro. Hugo,Thanks for your question about your 2001 Honda Civic! First, you need to make sure all the air has been bled from your clutch system.

Try attaching a clear hose to the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder and cycle the clutch pedal. If you can see bubbles in the clear tube then you know you need to continue bleeding the system. If you get a solid flow of brake fluid then your system should be free of air. If this is the case, you may check to see if there is supposed to be a spring return attached to the clutch pedal to paid in its return from the floor. You may also remove the slave cylinder and make sure the push rod is in proper contact with the clutch fork.Thanks again for your question!-BD Auto Pro.

The Chinese - who have in the past been associated with producing bad copies of renowned brands - have come a long way to prove they can build some good machines, and the Maxus T60 pickup is ample proof of this.The dual cab pickup was launched in April this year in Bahrain by Motorcity and Trade Arabia took it out for a spin to check its on-road and off-road capabilities.The Maxus T60 pickup is manufactured by SAIC Maxus Automotive Company (Maxus), a light commercial vehicle manufacturer and wholly-owned subsidiary of SAIC Motor of China. The Maxus marque originates from the LDV Maxus model of the defunct British commercial vehicle manufacturer LDV Group, following the acquisition of its intellectual property by SAIC in 2010.The Maxus T60 is a workhorse meant for daily site use, but it offers more than the bare essentials inside, and with advanced technology and an intelligent operating system, it is suitable for both commercial and private use.The first things that grab your attention are the stern look, good ground clearance and a big grille. There are steps on both sides but no grab handle for the driver, requiring him to make a slight effort to get in.Inside, the vehicle is spacious with fabric seats and hard and soft plastic across the dashboard. The driver gets a good front view due to the vehicle's height while there is a lot of leg room both in the front and back giving the feel of a big car.

There is an arm-rest between the driver and passenger and many pockets and holders well distributed inside, including two cup holders near the gear, and one each near the air-conditioning vents on both sides. The glove compartment, however, is small.Motorcity currently offers the mid-end 2.4-litre rear-wheel and four-wheel drive petrol options that generate a maximum torque of 136 hp on a five-speed manual transmission; although an automatic would be preferable considering Bahrain's congested roads.Measuring 5,365 mm long, 1,900 mm wide and 1,809 mm high, the T60 has a double wishbone front suspension and leaf spring rear suspension, offering good stability on rocky ground, albeit a bit noisy. Manoeuvring steep slopes is easy and so is its off-road ability.When it comes to power, the T60 has a 3.5-tonne towing capacity and can carry up to a payload of 1,100 kg. In the rear, the pickup has a 1,200-litre cargo bed with a single latch to help open the tailgate.The instrument panel is standard with a speedometer and a tachometer.

Offered with an option of several languages including Arabic, it even indicates the number of kilometres left to the next service.The fuel latch button is within easy reach of the driver at knee length on the left, unlike many cars where it's hidden near the feet.The air-conditioning is efficient and is especially noticeable on the feet vents, with separate vents for passengers in the back seat. It comes with a pollen filter - good news for those with allergies.The T60 has been designed and produced in accordance with the latest five-star safety standards of the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).

The models available in Bahrain come with dual airbags.Other features include anti-lock braking system (ABS), powered windows, tyre pressure monitoring sensor, and 16-inch alloy wheels.Although our initial assessment of the vehicle is satisfactory, only time will tell how the T60's fares in terms of robustness.The vehicle comes with a fair price tag: Motorcity is offering a starting price of BD5,199 ( $13,753) for the 4 x 2, and BD5,699 (15,076) for the all-wheel drive. A five-year warranty or 150,000 km service package is also available.
