Trogdor636 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I replaced the master and slave within the last 12 months, but the other day I noticed every now and then the pedal gets a bit soft. Random, not all the time. No fluid loss at all. So I figured I'll grab my dad to help me bleed it to see if that takes care of it. The pedal will not get firm no matter what. I've read of some cars having clutch systems that are difficult to bleed, but I don't remember it being like this. Anybody else spent a bunch of time bleeding? I'd hate to say the master or slave is bad when nothing is leaking and it works well most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreus009 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I've never bleed my system after a replacement, but I have noticed there is a bleed screw on the damper. The damper is on the passenger side fire wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yea, you are supposed to bleed damper first, then slave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 When I replaced my master cyl I had 3x the time in bleeding than the actual labor (even if the master is a cake walk) and that was doing the damper first. Still gotta delete that stupid damper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yep, people have complained about the damper, both the bleeding of it and the 'feel' of it. I have an automagic now so I don't have any additional experience with it. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastpath Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I have a leaking damper, so it self bleeds. I don't believe there is a write up on the delete - but I know someone has deleted it and posted some info on here. May have to search a bit.
