Re: Armchair mechanic: bleeding clutch Posted by CMyles [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Armchair mechanic: bleeding clutch, Justin VanAbrahams ![]() |
ZAAB,
I'll bet that what happened is that you forced some thick black goo through the master cylinder and it plugged up the three little holes in the piston which allow it to recharge on the backstroke. I've seen that on occasion. I think that the source of the goo is the internal deterioration of the rubber hose(s) in the system when they get old. In any event if the pedal falls to the floor then either there's no fluid in the system, the slave is blown out (you'd see a huge leak) or the master is internally non-functional. If the long spring inside the master is collapsed or broken you'll have poor clutch function too but it sounds like you need a master cylinder rebuild kit. Rebuilding these master cylinders is highly reliable and way cheaper than a new MC by the way, check site sponsors for the kit. Good luck
