properly bleed the clutch
hey guys, i just need to know the proper procedure for bleeding my clutch
the container is full. but i still need to bleed it
is it, push clutch to flour, open valve, close valve, bring clutch up, and repeat?
or can i put the bleeder valve in a cup of brake fluid, and just pump like a mad man

I expect it would be similar to brakes; open valve, push clutch to floor, close valve, bring clutch up, and repeat.

sounds like you may have a master cylinder problem.

I had issues with my master cyl, started with extreme cold times only, clutch would barely make it back up after I pressed it and it finally led to failure, they decided at the shop to try and replace the slave and clutch assembly first :-( ....... Gave the car back to me and it worked of course after leaving the warm shop but the next morning when it cooled off -35C same prob happened. They flushed the fluid and changed out the master cylinder this time and then everything worked excellent. They finally traced it to master cylinder failure.
