My fluid it's quite dirty now that I see what does it look like brand new, I have all the symptons you mention, specially random biting point in long trips, makes the clutch feel harder ing longer trips, do you think it might just be the fluid needs a replacement or could it be the clutch master cylinder too?
In my case, it was a plastic bottle with the bleed tube sealed in the lid, and I used a pump (for inflatables) in vacuum/suck mode attached to the bottle. You can use anything that will effectively 'suck' the fluid and start the process. I do have a vacuum bleeder tool, but didn't have it to hand at the time, but you should be able to make something similar - even if it is a jar and a bicycle pump
Great video! Thank you. I'm struggling to find the type of cylinder for the master and slave. I have a 2006 model. What is the part number in this video?
TRW P/N is PNB959 as per 3:31, which also shows the fitment details. If you goggle PNB959 you should get some links and alternative part numbers from other manufacturers. I think the OE P/N is 46920-SMG-023 or was for me
I have a honda civic 2012 with a manual transmission(US/CAD) The issue i’m having is that i’m stuck on neutural and I can’t manual shift into any of the gears no matter how hard I try. I noticed my clutch pedal was looser than it was before and when I checked the clutch fluid there was barely any left inside. Do you think this might be the reason why I can’t shift gears or would I have to change the master aswell?
I cannot get either of the hose clips off from underneath!! The rubber hose clamp has twisted the other way round so I can't get my fingers to it and the circlip wont budge! 3 hours of trying and I put the bloody thing back together for another day aaaagh
my clutch sometimes is okay but sometimes i dont get alot power in first gear. Feel really short. Is that something what would you suggest me to change ?
If you're getting clutch slip (e.g. revs rising but the car isn't accelerating), I don't think the clutch master would resolve it. Typically, you'd expect to see symptoms of the clutch *not* disengaging - so hard to get into gear, crunching into gear etc.
The clutch damper can also be a candidate, but usually start here if the fluid is dirty, and think about a bypass hose for the latter if it is still an issue
I wouldn't even bother with the £30 master cylinder. It'll be broken in a year or so, if that. My dad went cheap on a master cylinder off eBay once, it broke within 6 months. As for clutch bleeding, just open the valve, put the pedal down then put your toes under the pedal and pull it up. Pump it a few times like this and the air should come out. Then lock the bleed, pump the clutch pedal 5-10 times, then open the bleed nipple again and it should be good to go.
This really helped me out. You're a legend!
excelent job..!!
Thanks for sharing

Having an absolute nightmare trying to bleed mine. Please can you explain how the homemade vacuum is made? Thank you

@@wheeldesire thank you 👍
Well done Chris
What were your symptoms, because my clutch pedal is hard and a bit rough when changing gears.
Thanks Matey ❤

@@wheeldesireThan you!
I’ve noticed when the engine is cold I get really bad clutch judder when moving off, even when revving to 2k rpm - it’s a 1.8 ivtec any ideas? Thanks

Hi, my 2006 Jazz has dark clutch fluid. Its a heavy pedal but not slipping. Do you think just change the fluid?
definitely worth doing as DIY it's cheap to try. Air in the fluid can give a stiff pedal

You should be able to remove the pedal assembly and leave the cylinder in place - might help with getting to it if you do it in two parts

Thank u mate i thought it was a slave cylinder but this is exactly the issue i currently having

Clutch damper ? Bypass hose ? What does a clutch damper do ?
