as someone else said your not actually changing the line fluid. I'm not exactly sure what your doing pumping it if it your not bleeding it at the slave. Same goes for the brake fluid. the lines really need to be bled at the calipers.
cool video....if i dont drive my car as much how long i should change the fluid? my still looks kind of clear and its at the middle of the lvl between max and min just by the middle seal gap...
That's entirely up to you -- I don't remember what the service interval is for this system. I performed this service twice on my Camaro which at the time this video was shot, the car had about 50K-60K miles on it. I'd recommend making sure that reservoir is as full as possible, to help keep moisture from building up in there. Go get yourself a *small* bottle of dot 3, and top it up. Once you open the bottle and use it, you can't save the stuff. It's super hydrophilic, and takes on water pretty quickly. Mind you, this is more of a stopgap service, rather than a full service of this particular hydraulic system. Consult a service and repair manual for the full service of the clutch system
Matthew Paulsen I don't even reach 12k in a 4 years that I own the car so I was just curious if I need to change or even add little cuz it's fine the brake for me until now... Thx
@I Know Better yup. That’s what I demonstrated in the video. For those that aren’t as mechanically inclined, this is an easy way to flush the fluid thru the system. I would not consider this to be a full service however. This is quick and dirty, and will get you down the road for when you can get a full service done.
The possibility stands of introducing air, yes, If you remove too much brake fluid. That's part of the reason why I didn't totally empty out the reservoir on the master cylinder. I only removed about a third of the oil at a time. The Camaro in this video is a 5th gen V8.
I have a 2012 V6 camaro with 35000k and clutch slips a little and only sometimes, seems to be doing it more often now that the weather is colder. I can only feel it slip while I depress the clutch pedal @@matthewpaulsen1344

I do the flush on the calpers when i change the brake pads,unless the fluid looks dark,then i open up the brake calipers and do them
One by one.

I'd say add some, just to keep things happy. If it's a nice golden color, (and doesn't stink) you should be good.
Matthew Paulsen Roger that! The again
Good stuff, mang! Need to show the new car now...
What about all old fluid in the lines? So this is partial change is what you are saying.
b alanquin yup. This is more to get you on your feet, rather than a full self service.

can you get air using this method?also good enough for all camaro 5th gen?

@@matthewpaulsen1344 this is my first time doing this.the car has 115000. Just thought I needed one since I have the time ..
@@ivansotelo8163 if you're not experiencing any issues with the clutch pedal sticking down, I wouldn't bother.
@@matthewpaulsen1344 no but don't it want to be too late.abd got lot of free time. at least some what fluid change but not a real flush..
Did you have any clutch slippage?
how may miles do you have?
No clutch slippage. The pedal would fail to come back up without some assistance.
SuperBubba360 at that point in time, about 40k miles

@@SuperBubba360 Does it slip when you have the clutch pedal all the way out? If it is still slipping, your clutch disk could be worn out.
I find it easier to use a Turkey baster and suck it out into a glass jar.
LOL this is not changing your brake fluid. Removing a few ounces out of the tank is doing little to nothing.
