Does anyone know of a mechanic in the Phoenix, AZ area that REALLY knows how to fix the stupid hydraulic clutch issue. I've had it to my 'normal' mechanic 3 times and he says he has bled the heck out of it, and it runs fine till it gets home, then the next day it is really hard shifting and I need to double clutch to shift. It is really irritating. I've seen the you tube videos, but I need a mechanic that can actually do that. I don't have the expertise or place to do it. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ken
Knock on wood, I have never had the problem.
It’s my understanding that a lot of the problem is that the fluid goes in and out of clutch pedal cylinder on the radiator end. But the cylinder slopes upward towards the driver, and down to the fluid connections, so it can catch a bubble on the driver end & top of the cylinder closer to the driver.
To bleed the system, you have to rig up something so you don’t run out of fluid in the bowl as you drain it out the bottom, but you have to drain a greater volume than the bowl will hold. So it takes one person pouring/filling while one person is bleeding below, or they make some little rigs that will feed the bowl without overflowing and without running out. I’ve seen them on YouTube and eBay, but I couldn’t find it as I’m writing this.
The number two solution I’ve heard of, is to actually take the pedal cylinder loose of the pedal and firewall, so it down towards the drivers floor, and up to the connections, and then do a flow through bleed. A bubble should rise to the connector end of the cylinder towards the radiator, and then be flushed out with the fluid.
That’s what I’ve heard, and I hope it helps. But let me couch this by saying if you’re getting your advice from me, you may want to shop around before you buy!
Good luck!
