Jason Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Are you losing any fluid or is it simply that air is getting in? All you can do is go thorugh it logically piece by piece. OR, do as I do after 6 hours of knuckle scraping - take the whole thing apart and start afresh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 There was a previous thread on this back in May of last year, as I experienced similar problems- it is a problem with all big saloons. My method was to use a ezzi-bleed presuurised at 25PSI- 10 or so more than recommended- it worked- the other method is to hold the slave above the master cylinder- this evidently works.good luck Dave.

sahtuning2000 Posted June 19, 2005 Author Share Posted June 19, 2005 this is whats happened,i changed the master in jan,bleed the system no problem,very rarerly use car,got it out yesterday,thought i would change the fluid(looked a little dirty)but now all i get are air bubbles,the system,did drain,as i decided to put a new slave i had spare,so i have new slave/master cylinders,but i did loss all fluid,new fluid,tons of air,and sinking clutch,no leaks at all,i have checked complete system,top/bottom,it just seems to be having some gravity problem,have jacked it up at all corners,car was on flat ground,then on ground facing fowards down hill,have only used hose/bottle,haven,t used one man bleeder etc(will be getting one tommorrow,i did have one with the non return valve(any good)i,ve been told this is what i need,the one fashioned way doesn,t work,have had a few problems before with clutches but not this bad!!it does have the7/8 bore slave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahtuning2000 Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 another way i have been told is to connect a very long length of tubing to the blled valve,and route it above the master cylinder,then open the bleed valve,when the fluid in the tube reaches level with master cylinder then theres no air at all,something like what tim said,and i,ve read it in the register notes,does it work?got to be a gravity thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
