2011-2016 Chevy Cruze Clutch Replacement
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Today we change the clutch and a few other components on my 2012 Chevy Cruze. The original one wasn’t totally blown, but was showing signs of wear. This car still had the original factory clutch in with 210,000kms on the car at time of replacement
I've bled this clutch twice: once with a clutch replacement, once when I changed the hydraulic line from the firewall down to the slave cylinder. It helps to understand the theory and follow the factory instructions. You can get hydraulic fluid down to the bleed screw with gravity, vacuum, or a pressure bleeder. I probably used a Motive power bleeder, the cap is the European thread, same as BMW and probably Mercedes, so don't buy the Chevy/GM one. This is actually a German car with Bosch parts. Anyway, once fluid is down to the bleed screw, you still have air in the slave cylinder. To get it out, you compress the air by pushing the clutch pedal, then open the bleed screw and the air rushes out. After a couple cycles, instead of compressing just air, you flex the pressure plate. When you open the bleed screw, the pressure plate pushes more air out. I think you're supposed to repeat five times to get the slave cylinder full of fluid. I had a friend help me the second time and it took just a couple minutes. If you had trouble getting the air out, I suspect you didn't follow the two stages, where in the first stage you fill the hydraulic line and the second stage you use spring pressure to displace air and work fluid past the bleed screw into the slave cylinder.
I know this is an older video but a small hand vacuum pump bleeder would make that job easier.
Do you have any video(s) of the clutch replacement on its own? I'm gonna try replace mine, but will only do clutch, from the bottom. thank you!
Blowing my clutch (not surprised) on my 2011 Cruze on the Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel, I no the pain.
Which brand did u use bro ..which oem brand GM use
muchas gracias por el video, ya se lo que le van a hacer al carro
You are brave. 1st for owning that car to start with. 2nd for replacement of the clutch w/out touching hydraulic parts (asking to do it again soon). 3. Pulling the engine on jack stands at home. 4. Not touching the fly wheel whatsoever.
Not a bad video, but I didn't get what I wanted from it. Your probably snowed in from the current storm. Stay warm!
My Chevrolet Cruze does not select gears it's stuck on gear 5 I drove it without the oil but after pouring the oil it's still stuck what might be the problem ?
@16:04, you did not bleed the clutch correctly.
There are two 'portion' of this clutch system.
1st portion, from [brake fluid reservoir] down to the [bleeding screw].
2nd portion, from [bleeding screw] to the inside of the [slave cylinder].
when you did the bleeding in your description, you only bled the 1st portion. after the 1st portion bleeding, you should have done the 2nd portion bleeding. The 2nd portion bleeding steps are bellow:
1. push down the clutch padel and let the padel stay there.
2. open the bleeding screw, waiting for 5-10 seconds, let the fluid (air) coming out, close the bleeding screw (had tightening). let go the clutch padel, wait for another 5 seconds.
3. repeat step 2 four times.
4. in the last interaion, tighten the bleeding screw securely (not too much force, it is a plastic part), take out the bleeding hose.
in the whole process, keep an eye on the fluid in the [brake fluid reservoir], adding the fluid as necessary.
finally, fill the fluid to MAX line on the [brake fluid reservoir].
The basic ideal of the 2nd portion bleeding is using the force of the pressure plate to push out the [air and fluid] out from the bottom of the slave cylinder.
I am posting below the procedure from the GM shop manual.
The step 4 is the procedure to bleed the [2nd portion]
1. Attach brake bleeder.
Screw adapter (1) for corresponding brake bleeder onto brake fluid reservoir.
NOTE: Only use brake fluid DOT 3. The hydraulic clutch actuation must now only be
bled from "below", i.e. from the bleeder valve. A brake bleeder must be used for
this purpose - see " Workshop Equipment" catalogue. Manual bleeding is no
longer permissible. Observe manufacturer's instructions before using brake
bleeder. The brake bleeder must be set to an operating pressure of
approximately 2 bar.
NOTE: Insert hose end in suitable brake fluid collecting basin.

Disconnect valve cap from bleeder valve.
Connect bleeder hose (2) to bleeder valve (3).
2. Bleed clutch.
Switch on brake bleeder.
Open bleeder valve 2-3 turns.
Bleed until brake fluid escapes without bubbles at hose.
Close bleeder valve hand tight.
3. Detach brake bleeder.
Detach adapter from brake fluid reservoir.
Push valve cap onto bleeder valve to protect the bleeder valve.
4. Bleed pressure line between transmission housing and central release.
Press and hold clutch pedal.
Open bleeder valve until air or air/brake fluid mixture emerges.
Close bleeder valve hand tight.
Release clutch pedal as far as the stop at normal speed.
Wait approximately 5 seconds.
Repeat this bleeding process 4 times.
Tighten bleeder valve.
Detach bleeder hose.
Push valve cap on to bleeder valve to protect the bleeder valve.
5. Connect bleeder hose to bleeder valve, place free end in a suitable connecting container.
6. Top up brake fluid reservoir.
Fill brake fluid reservoir up to "MAX" marking.
Install brake fluid reservoir.
7. Check the actuation pressure of the clutch pedal. Ensure that the clutch pedal is not spongy and that there
is sufficient clutch pedal reserve (more than 13 mm (0.5 in)).
8. Check shifting for ease of movement with vehicle stationary, with engine running and with clutch
disengaged.
9. Road test the vehicle to ensure proper operation.
NOTE: The following operational stages must be undertaken to fill the
pressure line between the transmission housing and the central
release. When bleeding, ensure that the brake fluid reservoir is
always filled up sufficiently and does not run dry.
NOTE: Do not close the bleeder valve too fast.

Undertake road test using varying RPM ranges and frequent gear changes, bring vehicle to operating
temperature during this process. Ensure the brake and clutch system is operating correctly.
How long did the entire job take you? The engine removal feels more intimidating, but I like how it doesn't require any dangerous heavy lifting. Last time, we did it on a lift (hoist?) and the subframe took three guys to lower or raise and it was still a struggle. Going from the top just seems a little tedious with all the stuff that needs to be disconnected, but no crazy steps. Also, how does the AC compressor stay where it is? Do you unbolt it from the engine and tie it up somehow? Or did you disconnect the refrigerant lines and not mention having to recharge the AC? I'm considering using your clutch replacement method if I end up doing this myself instead of with my mechanic.
I rewatched, see how you left the AC compressor unhooked from the engine and maybe held by the refrigerant lines.
for some reason theres no pilot bearing for a cruze thats why the alignment tool doesn't work, i used a impact socket that fit snug and lined it up with that
Gm has what they call a pilot bearing for these. I know because I got one from a dealer. And it’s plastic
Isn't the fat side of the clutch supposed to go on the outside? you changed it backwards
Did you have any issues with the clutch slave cylinder leaking since yoy didn't replace it after all that work you did?
No it’s been great for about 13,000kms now
How much will be the cost to do it ?
What brand did you put in?
Bro can u show us how to do ZZP PCV UPGRADE
But, how much would a mechanic charge to do this?
Mine charged me around $4000 for new clutch and pressure plate, CA.
Lol, "I don't have a hoist, so I'll take the engine out." In America, a hoist is an engine crane, a lift is the contraption used to lift the entire car.
reading the remarks = seems i always see someone that thinks everything has to be ONE way = it's a sign you have never lived different places let alone different countries = have it your way - but what we call a lift in germany is a lift to get you to swim dive tower in a public swimming pools, volley ball, table tennis and the women can be toples if desired = lift this homeboy . open up or be left behind ......spend time checking me spelling or grammer = can you speak any other languages ? with time = things "mix" but i love my Philippine wife !!!
Can we do that on Chevy Cruz 2016 ? I noticed engine is diferent
different = different = not the same
I need this done an have no one willing to do it 🤦🏽♂️
throw out bearing?
I'm sure they replaced that also because it normally comes with the kit. My 99 S-10 clutch failed because of the bearing at 165K, my Chevy Cruze, it was my driving.
Ok i have a rather annoying problem nobody seems to figure out: 2012 Chevy Cruze just had dual-mass flywheel fail on me so i also replaced the clutch and pressure plate, the instant i got in the car after i noticed it's quite louder than it used to be, it's like i can hear the engine inside the car now, before it was reasonably quiet, i can't pinpoint exactly where the sound is coming from but it seems to be from inside the dashboard, probably somewhere near the firewall. I went through and checked for any visibly missing cover, even got under the car, took it back to the repair shop, they also double-checked that they put everything back... clearly they missed something and won't admit it. Now i'm stuck with a car that's annoyingly loud to drive, i'm trying to figure out what access hole cover they might have forgotten to put back on, i've been driving myself nuts trying to find the source of my troubles...
sounds like an exhaust leak. sometimes the gaskets break when removed or arent lined up correctly wen reinstalled. id start there
