on the transmission on the drivers side u will see a little bleeder screw sticcking out. You just have someone pump the cluitch about 20 times and open the bleeder till fluid comes out and close it. and just keep repeating till it feels nice and hard and stays hard. do not get discouraged it will go from hard to soft for awhile but then it will finally stay hard and work like a beaut. it will take some time if you emptied the whole system.
at the slave cylinder, you will need to remove the clutch inspection plate to do so.
just bleed it like you would your brakes, the bleeder valve should be right on it, you could replace it with a speed bleeder to make it easier, or use a vaacuum pump
Hi, The slave cylinder is on the side of the transmission. The hydraulic clutch system bleeder valve is on the slave cylinder. If you're bleeding the cluth, remember to have a jar and some clear plastic to bleed the system and never re-use the fluid you remove from the clutch master cylinder or the slave cylinder. Good luck and I hope it's a warm day for you. Please remember to use jack stands or heavy metal ramps. Steve H.
Have a helper pump the clutch pedal several times in the 1500, then hold it down. Loosen the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder, and let air and fluid out until the pedal touches the ground. Close the valve and repeat the process until there is no more air coming out with the fluid.
I would check to see if there is a leak in the the slave cylinder for the clutch. I just had to do this for my 1997 5 speed ex, there was a leak i went to the local autoparts store and bought a new slave cylinder, cost me about 20 bucks and a half hour time. For a quick fix just bleed it.
You Must remove the trans to access the slave... on the 5 speed for sure.
Slave cylinder on a 5 speed manual transmission is found standing by the passenger fender looking below the air flow tube.
six speed? unless you consider reverse......best way to do it is with a vacuum pump. or have someone pump it three times-hold it down and open up the bleeder. just like doing brakes.
u have a slave cylinder bolted on the side of the transmission,check to see if it is leaking,if it is ,replace and bleed,if not leaking .check your clutch master cylinder to see if its low, if not ,then u may need anew clutch.
On top of the transmission, near the clutch slave cylinder.
It's attached to the front of the bellhousing on the transmission.
Bleeding the cylinder may solve your problem. You bleed the cylinder the same way you bleed brakes. Have someone push and hold the clutch pedal down. Open and close the bleeding petcock to let any air out. Person then lets clutch back up. Do this until all air is removed from system. Try first gear then. If still a problem, (I'm not sure here) is it possible to adjust your clutch by lengthening/shortining the clutch push rod in between the slave cylinder and the clutch fork? Try that if it adjusts. Most dont but I don't know of hand about yours.
