Gamer Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Is there supposed to be some black thing that looks like a mentos floating in the clutch reservoir ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The cap expansion valve has come apart, it isn't the cause of your trouble though. have you bled it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Not yet, I am embarrassed to say that I have never done that before so I am looking searching for the 'how to' now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 2 ways, either just like you'd bleed the brakes, or crack open the nipple a half turn and let it drip for 15 minutes, checking the fluid level every so often and topping it up. It SHOULD self bleed like that, if you are alone, or don't have a power bleeder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 OK, sounds do-able. Thanks for the help Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Where is the nipple Chris? I've not noticed one before and don't have a car handy Taken from one of Chris's older posts You will find the bleed nipple on the clutch slave cylinder, which is on the nearside of the bellhousing. Just bleed fresh fluid through until it comes out clean. Be aware fresh fluid is more "searching" than old tired stuff, so if the master or slave cylinder seals are tired the new fluid could create a leak, either fluid exiting, or air entering the system. Cheap brake fluid is fine, there's little or no heat put into the clutch fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
