How do i bleed a hydraulic clutch on a 96 chevy truck ?

A friend of mine asked me how to bleed the clutch on his 96 chevy truck , Ive had a lot more experiences with automatics from trashing about 20 4L60Es in my overpowered transam breaking hard parts lol , Ive installed a T5 before in my buddys firebird but it was 10 years ago and I cant remember how we did it . is it gravity bled or do you just fill the master with fluid and pump the petal and it bleeds itself out ? any help would be appreciated .

SOURCE: bleeding hydraulic clutch

well you will need some help
make sure the resivor is full and have someone hold the clutch pedal to the floor and crack the bleeder on the slave cyl. and close after the spert of fluid comes out. when the screw is closed have the person in the drivers seat slowly let up and push down 3 times and hold down and bleed one more time. refill your resivor and repete if you dont think the peddal is quite right. just dont run it out of fluid
good luck it realy isnt that hard.

SOURCE: 2004 Cavalier clutch cylinder mysteriously empty

the fluid is going somewhere of course but your clutch lines do not run into the transmission itself it runs to a slave cyclinder that should be on the side of your transmission most likely where you seen that bleeder valve at normally if you can put fluid in the master cyclinder and you can shift gears fine it is your slave cyclinder that is going out if this is so all you have to do is unbolt it from the side of the tranny and replace it. It should only have 2 bolts, 1 line, and a rubber grommet on one end with a rod in it if you take it off just put the new one on the same way just in reverse order. hope every thing goes well.

SOURCE: 1999 Chevy S10 Blazer 4x4. Replacing rear pad's,& Bleeding Breaks

have one person in the blazer pumping the brake pedal and then hold to the floor, crack the bleeder then tighten, release pedal, repeat till all air is out one side at a time, if this does not work then your ABS unit is bad witch if u follow your lines from your master cylinder u will find a black box with a motor on it, or the master cylinder itself is bad, it also can cause u to have no pedal, replace the master cylinder first, most likely cheaper.

SOURCE: brake bleeding

if you didn't bleed the lines after putting the master in. then there is a good chance there is air in the lines now. may go through a quart of brake fluid before all the air is out. remember to start at r-rear/ l-rear/ r-front/ l-front last.will take some time. don't forget to adjust the rear brake while your there to help with the pedal

About a year and a half ago, we replaced the clutch in my daughters 2007 Chevy Cobalt. The shop replaced the master cylinder yesterday and this morning, there is no pedal again. Any ideas?

Hi most chevy"s are fitted with a concentric slave thrust bearing. This normally creates hydraulic fluid leakage between engine block and gearbox bell housing if not so , check hydraulic pipe lines for leaks. bleed system and be certain hydraulic pressure maintains .If problem persists check and replace clutch master and slave or might be a rare case of a faulty pressure plate.

Mx 6 clutch bleeding

I've had this happen to me once, as did a friend of mine.
Both times the clutch SLAVE (not master) cylinder needed to be replaced, THEN the system bled.
The MASTER cylinder is the one on the firewall, that's connected to the clutch pedal arm.
The SLAVE cylinder is bolted to the bellhousing (between the engine and the transmission).
BUT, it COULD me the master cylinder also.
Whichever is bad, there should be some fluid leaking to give it away.

Bleeding hydraulic clutch

have a friend pump the clutch pedal a few times and then hold it down while you open the bleed screw at the slave cylinder. Repeat the operation until the clutch pedal is firm to push down. Keep an eye on the reservoir level

Mazda Soho 121 Clutch Problems

sounds like you need to bleed the brakes again. Get a clear hose and put it on the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder so you can see the air bubbles in the fluid. bleed the clutch until there are no air bubbles in that clear hose. Even the little tiny bubbles can add up to lots of air in the system.

Where is the slave cylinder on 91 gmc sierra

I had a 92 Chevy Cavalier which had the hydraulic clutch system like yours. I had intended to flush and purge the hydraulic clutch system at the same time I flushed and purged the brake system. I traced the hydraulic lines from the master cylinder into the front of the transmission where the clutch is located. This is the most likely place to look for the slave. I didn't find a way to bleed the lines with the transmission still in and the Hanes manual I had was unhelpful. The dealer told me it was a "special job" that had to be done in a shop.

How do you bleed the hydraulic clutch on 1984 944

924 has cable operated clutch. When the cable on mine broke pedal went straight to the floor, hydraulic usually much slower to get to floor. Cable is an easy replacement. bleeding hydraulic usually done from nipple on slave cylinder (near release arm on clutch housing.

YOU HAVE A LEAKING MASTER OR SLAVE CLUTCH HYDRAULIC CYLINDER (AIR LEAKING INTO THE SYSTEM), SINCE THESE ARE ALWAYS REPLACED TOGETHER IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHICH IS THE PROBLEM CYLINDER.
