Clutch: Service and Repair

CLUTCH SYSTEM BLEED

Determine if master cylinder requires bleeding or if the complete system requires bleeding.

1. Uncouple clutch master cylinder line from the clutch slave cylinder with Line Disconnect 6638A.
2. Slowly depress the clutch pedal.
a. If pedal feels hard in a short distance, air is present in the clutch slave cylinder.
b. If pedal feels spongy air is present in the master cylinder.

NOTE: Do not apply too much force as this will cause the uncoupled male coupling to blow out.
