Very informative. Thank you! I just had my clutch bled after trouble changing gears - this explains what exactly was going on, and why it felt like there was a "gap" when I was pressing on the pedal.
This is a great demo to show what the air does in the system Thanks a bunch
great info..it helped me quickly bring my clutch pressure back to normal..I got the air bubble out with rapid pump and release on the clutch pedal -with the fluid cap off-then with cap on..thanks a bunch!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for making this video.
Great video bro, it's helped me to discover air in my system was stopping my clutch pedal returning, cowboy mechanics told me I needed a whole new clutch and wanted £800 to fit it, thanks a million for this info
Good technical video i ever seen on UA-cam regarding clutch. Thanks
greaty explained. thank you very much ! this video deserves a million views
Thank you for demonstration it helped to understand what was going with my clutch
Another fantastic informative video. Thanks
I buy Brake Fluid by the gallon for Traction lock systems in my 6 wheel drive truck but I think I will invest in some Silicone brake fluid when I start using a hydraulic clutch system .
Very informative Video thanks ...
Very good and thorough demonstration! Thank you for this helpful knowledge!
Very nicely explained. Thank you Sir
Thanks for that terrific demo. I have a 2008 Jeep Patriot 5spd and one day the master cycl was empty. Bought a manual vacuum kit thing and tried to suck the air out, but I guess there was too much air. It will have to be towed to the garage, maybe need a new slave/master cylinder get up I guess.
Excellent. Thank you.
thanks for sharing sir very well explained
Absolutely Bloody Brilliant
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been trying to find a solution without replacing all parts in my clutch system and your fantastic video has saved me hundreds.
Very impressive and detailed explanation!
My car (Honda Civic 2005 Exi) has vibration during first and reverse gear, I cannot run my car as ants walk in blocked traffic it shakes and there is clutch free play as well. With a new set of clutch and pressure plate installed I cannot imagine if it is a clutch plate or fly wheel issue. Is there any air bubble problem? Please help me in this issue. Thank you.
I have a 1994 Corolla; I recently replaced the slave and master cylinders and just had a new clutch kit installed. I've vacuum bled the system and am sure all the air is out, but now I have a weird symptom: in the morning, there is about 3/4 inch of freeplay in the clutch pedal which is perfect and within spec. As I start driving, the pedal loses that freeplay and gets firm and then kind of normalizes to about 1/8 to 1/16 of freeplay. I'm fairly certain there is no preload of the master cylinder rod. I've readjusted it warm to make certain there isn't any. I've looked at the release fork in the morning before starting the car and that sloppiness/sponginess at the top of the pedal does in fact move the release fork (not air in the system compressing), so it seems there is mechanical play in the clutch release bearing or the pressure plate, or something, that goes away after the car gets driven. Is it normal for there to be that much expansion/contraction in the throwout bearing or the clutch disk/pressure plate itself??? Thanks!
Hi there, I bought a new Fiat 500 for my wife and sometimes there is a need for me to drive it. However, the clutch bite point is too high on the pedals travel for me to drive it comfortably (I am quite tall and have long legs). I was just wondering if its possible to move the bite point on a hydraulic clutch? In my case to lower it down a bit. Thanks for any advice you can give.
@perfectionclutch what controls the engagement point, is the master cylinder or a combination of that and pressure plate?
Do you have a video on how you bleed your hydrolic slave cylinders?
What a fantastic demonstration!
when we make pushrod longer there is any kind of wear in clutchplate or the clutchplate is prevented from wear
Hi, sometimes the reverse gear locks on my car, even with the car stopped and turned off, I noticed that if I release the clotch and press again, the reverse works. Only the reverse gear gaves me that problem, the rest works fine.
My car is a ford focus 2010(mexico). Thanks.
i have 91 ranger 3.0 300,000 miles on it ,this is my 3rd clutch going in,,the2 before were sach s clutch kits ,wonderful kits, good stiff pedal and grabbed closer to the bottom, i changed brands ,money wise, southeast clutch,,well i tore it all apart and only needed pilot and throwout bearing,but i changed most anyways, i used the same sach disc,just like brand new and measured it , it was little thicker than the new one,anyways i have a soft pedal,not spongy, and grabs close to the top, is this normal or is somethiung wrong , and it is bled good, please let me know thanx dave
Can you do can you do a video for a 2010 Mustang the clutch and master cylinder with a brakes are integrated is that an easy bleed for just the clutch only?
What would hold trammsion against the engain after I took the bolts out of a manel trammsion
I have an Alfa GT and recently had a new master cylinder fitted as it failed completely and the pedal went to the floor. I now have another problem and that is when the engine/gearbox are cold the pedal has some slack travel and the bite point is at the bottom, as the car warms up, the slack goes and the bite point comes to the top to the point that the clutch slips under power. The clutch had no slipping before this was done. do you think that air is in the concentric slave and expanding with heat? should I vacuum bleed the system? thanks in advance for your help.
i have a 2002 focus zx5 manualand i replaced the clutch about 2 months ago now it isnt working again will got into gear but just revs no mvement the numbskull that raplaced the clutch did not put a new through out bearing in his opinion was it didnt need one could this or air in the lines be my problem or is thee any other suggestionsa u have.
MUCHAS GRACIAS
I changed my master cylinder with original slave still in, a few months ago on my 95 ford f150 4.9l and bled to not spongy and I have noticed that when I first drive the next day the pedal presses are easier for awhile and then after awhile the pedal gets noticeable uncomfortably harder to press, original clutch, slave, and no leaks 113,500 miles FYI, what is causing this?
Hello, tryen to find out how much it takes to fully disengauge my clutch, plate lift you mentioned on a 1995 integra gsr. Car had no clutch pedal when I started so I do not know if I have too little clutch stroke or too much after adjusting the rod and pedal stop where pedal rest ?
Please do a video on 05 chevy cobalt! On bleeding the clutch.. 😊🤓
Would air in the system cause a slipping clutch in a Ford Fiesta with an internal slave? Thanks
hi i got a scenic rx4 and my clutch pedal is very down is that a air bubble in the system? the clutch itself seems to be ok i got power and it is not slipping
Brilliant
Can you bleed a non Prefilled Slave Cylinder like the one showed on this video the normal way we do the breaks ?
Okay, I have a 2002 Nissan Frontier 5 speed manual, how would I bleed out that air bubble out of the lines on my truck?
i think i just developed this in my 97 sidekick. looks like ill be bleeding it tonight. keeps grinding when i shift because it only engages when its all the way to the floor
Interesting to see what a difference just a small amount of air in the hydraulic line makes.
Did you say 0.067 " ( sixty-seven thou.. ) plate lift as I've spent ages looking for the release bearing travel so I can fit my hydraulic concentric release bearing.....
I have a 95 Chevy Silverado I replace the throwout bearing clutch pressure plate starter and fly wheel it’s having problems going into reverse after it warms up I have bled the system countless times and no change did not open the hydraulic area
How i can bleed the s10 94 please help me
Hi sir
First of all i would like to appreciate your efforts to bring this very informative video to us.
It is really educating and i see myself lucky that i came across this video.
I would like to address an issue with the hydraulic clutch on my skoda kushaq.
I have trouble in the clutch release bearing i presume it is the csb. What do you suggest in this situation.
Could you please share some light in to this situation.
What would cause a brand new clutch to slip when cold but grabs really hard when the whole car is warmed up? The clutch lines have been bled 2 times already and same problem exists. Could it be the master cylinder or the slave cylinder? This is on a 2015 c7 corvette
Sir ..I have ford fiesta classic petrol ..I am facing some problem like gear heard and clutch realizes very high ..sir could you tell me what can I do ...thanks
I have a problem while turning off engine without pressed clutch pedal. I hear some noises i I feel some shakes from the engine bay. After replacing of dual mass fly wheel there is no any improvement. Mechanic said that the problem is with gear box. I don't trust him. What you think?
So how do you do the ford ranger???
I have a 2001 Focus 2.0L.
When I bought it, the clutch was very stiff. I just assumed thats how it was cause it was new to me.
Now the clutch pedal just darts to the floor with no pressure. The car still starts when the pedal is depressed although it cant be put into a gear.
The shift cables are fine so Im assuming its either the clutch master or slave cylinder. Maybe both?
Any advice will help and be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Have a good one.
@@perfectionclutch i have the same problem. i have followed the pipes looking for leaks. but there arent any. i have bled the system, it comes right, after some time it comes back again.
Nice video! Really helpful, but i have a question; i just installed a new clutch kit on my 2010 infiniti g37 but i didnt put grease on the slave cylinder, and now is making the same noise the diesel trucks do, but when i press the clutch pedal it good away.... so i think reason might be bc doesnt have grease there and its shaking or its somthing wrong with the transmission.... so it would help me a lot if you give me your opinion what it!!
Engine runing, clutch up in neutral is making noise, i turn on the AC and gets louder, then i press all the way donw the clutch pedal and the noise goes away..... doesnt matter if its any gear in, but as long as the pedal is pushed, the noise goes away.... now when thats when the engine is running but car not moving, but when im driving the car it mave the same sound all the cars make when you have 5th gear in and your going around 30 mph, sound like ssssshhhhh. Flywheel is a single plate, and i dont know how to describe the clutch i just know its a oem exedy clutch for 2010 infiniti g37 sport rwd. And i forgot to put grease on the release bearing. By the way, on this car the slave cylinder is inside. Thank you
Ok, thank you very much, i really appreciate it
Can a clutch cause a nosie when in idle?
my 03 cavalier is having the same symptoms, similar situation where the clutch is pushed halfway down and hard to shift into first gear. But later during the day the clutch goes back to normal but still has that spongy feel to it. I replaced clutch master cylinder and everything about a year go, and it does not leak or anything could this be my problem that I have a bubble in the hydraulic system? please respond Thank you
perfectionclutch thanks for responding, I took the car to Aamco today and they said nothing is wrong with it, but like I said it does it once in awhile and the clutch goes back to normal. Not sure what to think of it but the clutch feels fine today and who knows when it will lose pressure again. But they said the fluid was low, they put fluid in and sent me on my way.
Firstly, I'd like to say thanks for your post.
Secondly, I just took my Kia Bongo 3 to a Kia Service Centre in Busan, S. Korea for a clutch assy. replacement. Upon receiving my car back, I noticed that the Clutch offers no resistance, until it's almost completely depressed and even then only a little. The Clutch also does not have the same kick that you would expect from a new clutch. I went to them with a new clutch assy. which I had bought else where and asked them to install it. I didn't stay to watch, but rather came back every so often. Is it possible that one mechanic can swap out the clutch and have it working in 20 minutes?
I strongly suspect that there is air trapped in the line, or he didn't swap the Assy. out as he should have.
This type of thing is quite a common occurrence here, people are getting cheated all the time, but don't know any better.
What are your thoughts on the matter? Air Bubble?
@@perfectionclutch Thanks so much G. I will check it out, but am now strongly suspecting something wrong as the gears are now accasionally grinding lightly when the Clutch is fully depressed and changing gear!
Im going to pop the draw arm (Throw Bearing pull Arm) cover off and see if I can see what is new.
Thanks again.
Will let you know.
I've recently had a used gearbox fitted into a 2001 Mercury Cougar, along with a new slave and clutch, but gear changes 1, 2 and 3 are always a little 'tight', especially first thing in the morning. Could this be air in the system?
@@perfectionclutch Thanks Gary, I'll try what you suggested and see what happens. R, 4th and 5th are all fine. By tight, I mean that there a little resistance when going into gear and it doesn't feel smooth. My garage has said that the gearbox is just 'tight' and need wearing in, but I've been driving it 3 months now and no change.
wait so you don't want it to engage right off the floor board? isn't that what you want? i surely dont want to wait until the pedal is at half way for it to engage with the flywheel
hi, i have been big fan of your site. i dont do manual but i am your subscriber for so long. fortunately i got honda tsx 6 SPEED manual 2005 model.. the car doesnt want to go in first gear or reverse gear it is making burr and gurr sound.. I checked master and slave, and see that slave is leaking oil..
Question is 1) if master cylinder doesnt leak can i conclude it is good? how do i test and confirm master is good.
2) with your experience , by looking at my problem, will it resolve the problem by changing slave cylinder.
One last request , i dont mind paying donation as well. can you make a video, about how master cylinder, slave cylinder works, why do we need slave cylinder. when i press my clutch, how does the fluid travel and does it return back to reservoir if so what way, white boarding also would be good . sorry i asked too much hellp. bcz i trust you so much.
Thanks again..
sivaraj palanisamy I have same exact problem on a 2005 g35 6mt but with no luck after replacing my slave. I'm going try bleed out air bubbles with a mityvac bleed system on my next day off.
Herb Sales
Hi push your slave cylinder with hand and see if u are getting bubbles on clutch reservoir. If u don't that means u don't have air bubble. U can use mityvac before this procedure. Make sure there is no leak on lines. If all good then change master cylinder. Having master slave and all lines are nice and tight with no air bubbles , this should work
i have a 90 f150 with this set up and my question how do i get the air out ive done everythin i can think off
so basicly push air out and how many times do i do this
Will this cause gears to grind also?
Thank you Gary for the message back, much appreciated.
Yeah I suspected this as when I'm reversing the van I have the gear will get stuck and I cant get it out of gear so need to turn van of and only then i can get it back in neutral, could be an issue with the clutch, just hope it nothing to do within the transmission.
It can get stuck in 1st and 2nd too if im crawling along with traffic.
You got a trick for an 1988 jeep cherokee.....man I've tried everything
I have a Scion FR-S when I pump the clutch a few times and push it to the floor in a park position and put it in first gear its feels like the car jerks to move would an air bubble in my line cause this
+perfectionclutch The Toyota dealership replaced the clutch kit for me and it still does it it happens after I drive around a little bit I noticed that if I push the clutch in and put it in first it happens but if I push the clutch in and wait about 10 seconds it won't
+perfectionclutch it's like you have to give it time to stop turning or something
+perfectionclutch well I checked my car and I have a question on the clutch master cylinder when I push the clutch in the little rod that is supposed to push the fluid down is wet does that mean I have a leak or is that normal
Hi, I installed a new clutch on BMW E46 but after that the clutch pedal is much harder than it was before. Is it an air bubble trapped on the hydraulic linings? I am not sure if it is spoungy because the main feeling is the increased hardness of the pedal.
My BMW is an 318i e46 engine N42B20A production September 2002. I have installed a Luk repset 623300100. I can push all the way to the floor the pedal but with greater effort than before changing the clutch.
I didn't do the installation by myself but it was done by a nearby workshop. As I see from Luk online catalogue there is no such spring on the kit, it contains # 1 to 3 from the following diagram www.etkbmw.com/bmw/EN/search/selectCar/E46/Lim/BMW+318i+N42/ECE/21_0093
and I also asked the technician to change
#5 to 7 on the same diagram www.etkbmw.com/bmw/EN/search/selectCar/E46/Lim/BMW+318i+N42/ECE/21_0093
#7 is a spring but I don't if it is the one you mentioned above.
Also changed #5 from this diagram www.etkbmw.com/bmw/EN/search/selectCar/E46/Lim/BMW+318i+N42/ECE/11_3187
My flywheel is a dual (twin) mass with SAC,
Thank you for answers and help that you gave me

Sir my car clutch plate pressure plate and flywheel wheel got damaged at 2200 kms of use..What could be the reason? Company told that it is due to wear and tear.

I’m having a problem with my clutch. When I bought the truck, the previous owner said it had a new clutch but needed to be bled, and that that was the reason that it was hard to press, had zero play, and grabbed very high. I have tried bleeding it twice. The first time I bled it, it was good for about 2 days. Grabbing low and had play. Then about 2 days later. It was back to grabbing high and very stiff from the very top. So I tried bleeding it a second time and it was good for all of 30 minutes then went back to normal. I’m not a very experienced mechanic and have no idea what the problem is, if anyone knows
perfectionclutch 1995 Ford F150 w/ 188k miles. I bought the truck at 187k miles and the previous owner said it had a new clutch but needed to be bled
perfectionclutch if the truck is stopped, when I push in the clutch, I have to wait a few seconds to put it into first, or else it will grind. And when I release the clutch, it doesn’t start to catch until the clutch pedal is nearly even with the brake pedal. And when the pedal is all the way up, it’s not fully engaged or it is worn and the previous owner lied, because i can feel it slip occasionally. Especially when under load.
my clutch often feels spungy and I can't shift smoothly whatsoever. However, when I drive on the highway for long distances and then exit ; from that point on the clutch is smooth. It is smooth for about 5 to 10 shifts and then goes spongy again. could this be something causing air bubbles ? Also when I use the brakes on the highways, the clutch isn't smooth. Also one time I had to really jam on the brakes . the clutch temporary when smooth after doing this . any ideas?
Wouldn't have this issue ever with a cable system. I dont know why we use this

The same.
Sir I really need your help in this clutch sounds which comes after installing new clutch system. There are no hard shifting in gear transmissions, everything is normal. Clutch disc, pressure plate and clutch bearing all lubricated properly wherever required, and no leak in both clutch cylinders. m.ua-cam.com/video/DVJCERkwS2w/v-deo.html
Sir, it happens only after replacing with new clutch. And this sound did not come with the old clutch. Any ideas or suspect regarding pressure rings getting hard...? And how to identify hard pressure rings?
Its a new clutch disc, bearing and pressure plate. The sound comes only the above new clutch parts were installed. Really surprised to hear the sound!!!
