When should a clutch need repair in an Acura 2006 TL?

Assuming that your car has a tachometer, accelerate moderately hard in an empty lot (or other unobstructed and deserted area) and watch your tach and speedometer. If you're confident that your final drive will take the stress, just sidestep the clutch and launch. If you don't move (or take off slowly) and the tach rockets up, then your clutch is slipping, and it's time to replace it. If you're accustomed to the car, however, you should become aware of a slipping clutch -- it'll be obvious; you just won't accelerate.

How do you change a clutch slave cylinder?

You have to pull the transmission out to get into the cylinder. Jeep sells them for 240. but carquest sells em for just over a 100. Im putting a clutch at the same time and mines at 86000 miles. Probably not necessary to do the clutch but since its a 5.5 hour job in a shop might as well have it done too. 130. for the clutch disk and pressure plate . 500 for labor and doing the u joints at the same time since they need to come out to do it.

Clutch sticks down when driving once in a while why?

May be clutch cable sticking, clutch lever on the gearbox sticking or the actual friction plate in the clutch sticking on the shaft. the latter would probably mean taking the gearbox out to check. The clutch lever on box is easily oiled but usually the return from a clutch is great enough to pull it back but check anyway.

You would like to change a geo metro transmission from manual to automatic how do you go about doing it?

My advice. Forget this idea. Sell this car and purchase one that came with an Automatic. You will save yourself money and lots of headaches. This would be an expensive conversion. The only other option would be to find a donor car with all the necessary parts.

How do you change a flywheel?

If the engine and transmission are in or out of the vehicle...the process remains the same. (In most vehicles it is not necessary to remove the engine to accomplish this. There are a few examples...like the Pontiac Fiero for example). Remove the starter, the transmission and transmission bellhousing from the engine. There will be some things to unplug, or some brackets or mounts to disconnect. Take your time and label the bolts as you remove accessories. After you remove the clutch assembly from the flywheel...the flywheel attaching bolts will be visible...just remove those...make your repair, and put it all back together. Good Luck!

How do you bleed the clutch slave cylinder on a 1995 Honda Civic EX?

1.Make sure the Clutch fluid is full (DOT 3 brake fluid)

2.Get somebody to set in the car and pump the clutch 3 times and hold it to the floor,while they are holding it to the floor back the bleeder out on the slave cylinder until fluid squirts out. After you do this you need to tightin the bleeder back down before you bleed it again.

3.you want to do this until a nice stream of fluid comes out of the bleeder (3 or 4 times.) the pedal will stick to the floor on this step but it is normal. just pull it up and bleed it again. By the end of step 3 you will have a nice feeling pedal.

4.After you are done with these 3 easy steps make sure your fluid is to the max line in your clutch fluid res. and you are done. Enjoy your new feeling clutch.

How do you change a clutch master cylinder on a 2003 F150?

Not too bad. Remove the line from it. Remove the bolts holding it on. remove the clip under the dash that attaches it to the pedal. It will come out. Reverse the order to install the new unit. Take the bleeder screw loose for the slave cylinder. Loose, not all the way out. Add fluid. If you wait and keep it full, gravity will bleed it for you. If not, pump the clutch pedal several times and hold it down. Loosen the bleeder screw at the slave cylinder. Air and fluid will come out. Keep doing that until the pedal is firm and nothing but fluid comes out. That's it. Good luck.

You are losing clutch fluid and after adding fluid it quickly turns black any ideas?

start by flushing the whole clutch system with new fluid. open the bleeder and pump a bottle or so through the system or until comes out crystal clear. make sure not to let the clutch master cylinder go dry. stop pumping after the level gets to about a quarter of an inch to the bottom add more and continue pumping repeat til system is clean.
