hodge Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi guys I'm not the greatest when it comes to bleeding clutches. I seem to have hit a bit of a problem. I've bled it off but for some reason the first say 1/3 of the pedal is really light as if its taking up slack, then it pull the pressure plate. Now other cars with aftermarket single disc clutches I've driven, the pedal is hard from the top. I can't see if its engaging with the pedal as the car is on axel stands at present. Could the lightness at the top of the pedal mean its not bled off correctly, or is there something else sinister going on there. Any help would be awesome guys.

ManwithSupra Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I assume you depressed the pedal fully when bleeding it. I can only think its somehow drawn some air in somewhere?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 I assume you depressed the pedal fully? Yup. I've a feeling there's still air in the slave cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Usually they will gravity bleed. If the bleed back hole in the master cylinder is blocked you may not get it to ever work properly. A proper clean and blow out with compressed air, and new OE seal kit should sort a cylinder with an an unworn bore. Finally a lot of aftermarket clutches, usually US in origin, are such total junk the geo is totally screwed and the stock hydraulic ratio hasn't a cat in hell's chance of operating them properly.
