Hey guys, i just changed the master cylinder for a 2000 grand am 2.4l, now its taking like forever to bleed it, when i looked on the coupling thing where the push rod sits, i am finding that its way back at the of the cylinder that there isnt any space for me to push, what might be the problem.I looked on the one that i took out i can even touch with my finger , could it be that there is an airlock in the reservoiur what?please help

@bryankilbarger7279 3 года назад

I commented on this video 6 years ago. Thanks once more. I am researching clutch problems about every 2 years and Gary Croyle's videos are always the most informative to me. I try to buy Perfection whenever that is a choice.

This video saved my ass. Thanks for making it. I was pumping the peddle for a day before I found this vid.

@robinmilton 2 года назад

Even 12 years later this video still lives to help us all - after the first attempt I knew I was missing something - found this video, used the tips and worked great - saved my sanity!

@danielbellows8768 5 лет назад

Great video! I've been fighting to get the air all the way out and been having a hard time. This video helped me bleed it totally!

@blackbirdxx928 4 года назад

Damn dude...that's the long way around.....the easy way? As taught to me by old guy 40 + years ago....I must be good at keeping secrets...I never told anybody....bolt all the parts in....you can do that, right? You need to pay careful attention to the next part...it being super secret and all...fill the master, someplace on the cap there is s vet hole..DO NOT OPEN BLEEDERS! Make sure the pedal is up....ok ready? Get s rubber tip blow gun and give a couple quick shots of air in the hole....should be done deal,right;)

@virgojeep1 12 лет назад

Use a new hand pump oil can and hose that fits your bleeder, fill it with new fluid and pump the can until fluid reaches the end of the hose. Then connect that to the bleeder on your slave cylinder. Make sure your master reservoir is half full. Begin to pump the oil can and watch the air bubbles get pushed out of the system until their is no bubbles. Close bleeder This is such a better method as air likes to travel upward and in my case the lines would be harder to disconnect for a bench bleed.

@mcdevious2229 4 года назад

This is a good method if you can have all the components off the vehicle.

@danielebbeling4056 Год назад

Thank you. I am searching for how to get the bled assembly in place in my 1995 k1500 4.3L Can anybody link a video available to me?

@amgogue1 11 лет назад

Hi my ford ranger clutch wont build pressure anymore no matter how many times i tried to bleed it.. you think theres air bubbles in the line ??

@brt-jn7kg 2 года назад

Ok so you've bled the air out now how to install without spilling, having the pushrod or clutch master cylinder from spilling?

@garzadelagarza 6 лет назад

Hello, do you think this method will work on my 1990 Silverado? I’ve been two days trying to bleed the system and no results yet.

@morrishowe557 3 года назад

WhT was it how did you do it if you ever did I’m having the same issue on a 95

@nickzhaosun 9 лет назад

This was a very useful video. It answered all of my questions and made my project easier. I work in the Auto Parts industry and can say from experience that the products made by Perfection are of exceptional quality. Thanx

@altlandf 5 лет назад

bullshit perfection makes junk. All of my clutch parts are new. And yet the pedal goes to the floor. perfection needs to be put out of business.

You my friend are a true professional. Thank you!

@isangtubo 12 лет назад

Great video. I've just changed my clutch and bleed the system by pumping the pedal and opening the bleeder. After few days, my clutch pedal was gettin stuck on the floor. Checked the clutch system..no leaks and reservior is full. Dunno what was wrong till found this vid. I tried this technique and got rid the air bubbles. Now my clutch is working normal again. I think this technique is more effective...Thx

@MUSTANGVERDE 13 лет назад

Very well explained !!! Love the vids !! But I have a question : What to do when the slave cylinder don't have the bosses to screw the harmonic damper puller? How to bleed on the bench in that situation ?

@altlandf 5 лет назад

Just went down to check what I did yesterday. i had the slave cylinder off and bled the system with a hand vacuum pump. All that work for NOTHING!! The pedal goes to the floor ! how do o tell it to release the fucken clutch!! I have done this before and NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE! perfection makes their products right or get destroyed!!

@19jody72 3 года назад

So.. on the slave, push the piston all the way in and keep it locked in some way? Then open the bleeder on the slave 3 or 4 times. Close the bleeder off. Let the slave piston come out. Then push the piston in several times... Then it should be bled, correct?

@paulrosebrock 5 лет назад

You’re a bloody genius.....Thanks!

@altlandf 5 лет назад

Last October I got a clutch kit and replaced the clutch. Now I am working the hydrolics and everything is new except the reservoir. My problem is no matter what my pedal goes to the floor. About a year and a half ago I did the same job. No issues no problems. If all is new what is the issue? I have all of your products in my truck and it won't move because of your junk! Why can't I force it to work?

@thunderchild321 3 года назад

Should do a video on bench bleeding one for GMC K1500 1992...5speed.. removing a transmission to do this technique is a big ugh !!!

@altlandf 5 лет назад

I did what this guy did right down using the same brand fluid he's using. Never heard using a steering puller or hanging the system up like an iv would be set up. I even used a hand vacuum pump and still NOTHING. Clutch pedal goes to floor. Instructions that came with perfection hydrolics. Under normal use, small amounts of air remaining will be purged from the system. So what's the deal? Why does the pedal goes to the floor?

@rexdakin7682 4 года назад

Hi, I have a 98 s10 with a sbc 350 and a nv3500 transmission. The slave cylinder is right above the starter. I have a a new braided line on it and a new clutch master. I've bled the system but it will only go into gear when the truck isn't running. Any ideas cause its driving me crazy.lol

@thefrugaljeeper4054 4 года назад

Now who's the wise guy who said the pre-bled Master and Slave doesn't need bench bleeding? This should be noted on the products sold so people don't make the mistake of installing it(like I did) and still have to bleed it.

@joytrucker5709 4 года назад

You are a godsend. For the last seven days I've been cursing why God doesn't love me. Then I find your video. I have an International Prostar class 8 semi truck. All it took was to remove the four bolts holding the slave cylinder. Then gravity feed the fluid down to the cylinder. I gravity bled it twice, then used a socket extension like on the video to push down on the piston inside the cylinder. I heard a wonderful sound comming from the reservoir up top. It was bubbles. I did it a second time, and there was that wonderful sound again. On the third time, I heard nothing. I did it one last time and heard nothing. I got up from below the truck and pushed on the clutch pedal, and felt it hard. It was so emotional. I was so happy all I could do was thank the lord and you kind sir. A vacuum pump is not needed to gravity bleed, but I used it anyways since I had been using it for the last seven days for hours on in trying to bleed the clutch.

@brt-jn7kg 2 года назад

Thank you. My 1995 Chevy Silverado clutch just went to the floor the other day and now I have to replace it.

@bryankilbarger7279 9 лет назад

Thanks very much for the vid! I just replaced the master and slave cyls in a parking lot by a mexican restaurant and a mattress shop in Lancaster OH on my son's Jeep. I was pretty intimidated as I have never done this before. However after watching the vid I did it right there with my wife looking for the bubbles instead of pushing the clutch pedal in. Could have not worked better! Thanks again and also for the quality cyls you make.

@vectortlc 10 лет назад

Easy from the Master Cylinder slave bleed put a hose inside of bottle whit liquid just pump .The bubbles will come out without being able to go back can apply brake to

@wlew3499 3 года назад

This is an old video but good info. Only problem, on most cars you can not remove the hydraulic line on the car to bleed the system on the bench. I have a steel line bolted to the car. It's bleed the system installed on car.

@patriciamoraga2917 4 года назад

Thank you so much for your tip Besides not adjusting the clutch properly I also had a lot of air bubbles in my system 🙏🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I accidently ordered a 98 slave cylinder for my 91 4runner. Should I reorder a 91 cylinder or will the 98 one work fine?

@dante04srt 4 года назад

Used this method the morning to bleed my new Perfection external slave. Followed the steps shown in the video and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the info.

@altlandf 5 лет назад

What position is the push rod at the master cylinder. when you are bleeding the slave cylinder? Installed master and slave cylinder and hose 2 years ago and didn't have this issue.

@rotfan77 7 лет назад

The only thing I wasn't 100% clear on is if that is the actual line from the car, or are you using that line to prime just the cylinders and will they hold their prime if you were to attach them to another line in the car? Obviously that line would need to be bled? Thanks

Hey! after working for many years on cars , I tough I knew every thing , but this video ligth it me up on on my clutch problem, thanks

@williamarmstrong1017 8 лет назад

@yogibear1180 4 года назад

Hey thank you for the video just finished it as soon as it quits raining I'm going to pull that slave and the master off and I'm going to bleed it the way you showed me in the video I am having trouble getting all the air out but thanks again.

You deserve credit for what i did on my dodge ram 2500 thanks!! After I tried for soo long and after I follow 1p0 % your steps come back on the road with new ceramic clutch

@brianwilsonbeachboys 9 лет назад

Now when you go to install the system on the vehicle after bleeding it this way, do you need to reinstall that plastic shipping retainer?

@davidmeeks2492 5 лет назад

Hey I know this is an older video. What size Allen wrench was that you used on the slave cylinder

@ArcolaBridge 11 лет назад

Thanks for the video. I have just bleed the slave and brakes on a 2003 A4 using the 2 person pumping the pedals and opening the bleeder valves. Both the Brakes and the Slave are now poor. I was wondering if I need a pressure bleeder?

@LittleBouchet 9 лет назад

Nice video. Makes a whole lot more sense than putting everything in the car where you can't get to it, then try to bleed it.I just have one question. I am putting a similar setup on an older Mustang. After you have blocked that slave cylinder with the screw on the puller and finished your bleeding, will that piston stay in after you remove the puller? Or, do I have to depress the cylinder on the slave when I bolt it up to my transmission, and install the push rod to my clutch fork? (I am using a push type slave cylinder just like this gentleman used) I was concerned that the spring pushing outward on my slave cylinder would pre-load my clutch fork and throw-out bearing. Anyone who has performed this, I would love hear your comments. Thanks

@LittleBouchet 9 лет назад

+perfectionclutch I will double check the slave that I received, could be I received the wrong one. It does have the circlip retainer that you mentioned and the dimpled plate is pushed out against the circlip retainer as if it has some type of spring in it. That is what has me confused, as I need the slave to push against my clutch lever, and I just assumed the normal position of the piston in the slave would that it be bottomed out on the other end, and not pushing out against the circlip retainer. This is my first experience working with a hydraulic clutch, and I just want to make sure it works before I put it in the car. I plan to bench bleed my whole system just as you did in the video and make sure it is good to go. I have read so many forums were someone has installed a system it their car, the it barely releases the clutch, or not at all, and I feel most of them have not bled their system properly. Again, Thanks for your video, it is very informative. ~Rick~

@chanandler4567 6 лет назад

Great video! Would this work the same way, if the C-clamp method you used in the other video to stop the slave cylinder piston from moving was used instead, and with keeping everything in the car?

@chanandler4567 6 лет назад

perfectionclutch: Thank you very much for the information.

@chanandler4567 6 лет назад

perfectionclutch: I used the C- clamp method on my 350Z today, and it worked PERFECTLY! I believe the clutch system in these vehicles are known to be difficult to bleed, with the few loops in the hard lines; but, the air bubbles were removed in a relatively short period of time. Thank you again, for passing on your expertise and knowledge. 👍
