HOW TO BLEED YOUR CLUTCH SYSTEM

Although this is a very simple thing to do but sometimes , you will difficulty or to consume a lot of hour before you can feel there the pedal clutch becomes hard.

If you have changed your repair kit of your clutch master cylinder of you have changed a flexible hose , or you have accidentally open the bleeder, or the fluid was drain due to leakage ,   an air will enter the whole system.  In that case the fluid line will have an air and same time a fluid. If that happens , the air will be blocking the fluid so that the fluid could not push the push rod of the secondary master located near your bell housing hence the difficulty of engaging transmission gears.

If air enter the system, you will feel in your clutch pedal the ff:
             1.  totally the pedal goes to the floor.
             2.   you feel spongy the moment you step on that pedal.

The procedure.

1.  fill with fluid you master cylinder.
2.  put a small plastic hose to the bleeder and the other end to a small container to catch the fluid.
3. have someone pump the pedal at least three time, then stop at a where the foot is on the floor. (engaged)
     do not release the pedal until the other person say so.
4. open now the bleeder , expecting a bubble to come out of the hose.
5.  try to manually push the push rod by yourself , to remove further any air.
6. repeat number 3 but one stroke , 4, 5, all over again, untill you feel that the pedal becomes hard to press.
7.  from time to time fill the reservoir with fluid.
