Lost my FSM, reformatted and forgot it.. anyone?


So my clutch just hits the floor, happened during the cold weather, not while running.
I changed the master cynlinder today hoping that would fix it, but nope..

i see the slave cynlinder, but no apparent leaks?

never had to work on this before.

could it be something worse?

also, i have no clue how to bleed, maybe it just needs to be bleed.. no pressure to push the clutch back up is what the problem is

Well if you didn't bleed it it will if course have no pedal pressure!

You'll need a helper to bleed it. Grab a friend, wife, girlfriend, whatever to help. Anybody who is capable of pushing the pedal down and holding it at your command.

You really should have bench bled your MC, ideally, but it shouldn't be a problem. Have your helper push the clutch pedal down and hold it while you open the bleeder valve at the slave cylinder. While your helper is still holding it down, then close the valve. Have the helper lift the pedal up and repeat. Keep repeating until all air/bubbles/foamy fluid are gone and the valve starts spitting out solid fluid. Make sure your helper doesn't prematurely let the pedal up otherwise you'll have to start over. Also keep an eye on the fluid level at the MC reservoir, if it runs out you'll also have to start over so make sure to top it off as you go

yea the slave was the problem..
i bleed it alone, so no wonder its kinda squishy feeling.

its not my daily driver anymore, and it still needs new rear brakes

so i will re-bleed it again someday.

I just pump the thing and jam a stick between the clutch pedal and the driver's seat then bleed. Simple creativity. Personally I can't stand textbook mechanics they made everything look difficult.
