How to bleed air from hydraulic clutch

- Link to part 2 • Clutch bleed results This is my 04 pontiac gto with a hydraulic clutch, i just replaced the throw out bearing and have air in the clutch line. Heres how i got it out. Obviously the clutch poppin method did not work for me but i have read it has worked for orthers, let me know if it works for you.
Legend has it that to this day he is still pumping out the air out of the master cylinder
Made me laugh
😂😂
That’s what I was thinking. How can there be that much air....something must be leaking somewhere.
That's why he made this video he needs help.
michael1294 he should probably cover the liquid with the cap and do that from the bottom from the bleeder valve lol
He's still removing air to this day
dude, this is so wrong. You havnt a clue what your doing.
Applying a vacuum to the top of the master cylinder will only remove small amounts of air near the top end of the system. You can spend an hour doing it and still have a soft clutch pedal. There is an air bleed hole in the clutch release assembly which is closed by the long hexagonal bolt/bleed screw seen at 0:10 in the video. Crawl under the car; the bleed screw will be sticking out of the side access port in the bell housing; that is the reason for its length. Unscrew that bleed screw...7/16-inch socket on swivel joint...enough to allow fluid to escape for a minute and pump the clutch pedal a few times without letting the fluid in the master cylinder reservoir drop below the outlet hole. You might see air bubbles...or not. Tighten up the bleed screw. Check clutch pedal action. Repeat, if necessary. Done !! The short fitting in the picture is the fluid inlet port from the master cylinder...which should have a braided steel fluid line attached to it. Easy to find if you just jack up the left side of the front end of the vehicle. Don't forget to use a jack stand for safety.
Obviously there are better ways, but this method will actually work on some systems, but only if you draw fairly low vacuum, keep the reservoir level well above the outlet port, and regularly remove the vacuum fitting from the reservoir outlet port, to allow fluid to be sucked down into the slave cylinder.
On most systems, the slave and master cylinder seals are only capable of sealing under pressure, and only seal to a certain extent under fairly low vacuum.
What we're more than likely seeing here is outside air being sucked in the rear of the master cylinder, or in past the slave cylinder seals.
Sure, the hose fittings could've also been allowing some air to come in too, but you can normally see the bubbles rising from between the fitting and hose rather than up through the middle.
What's far less likely, as some 'scientists' in these comments have speculated, is the fluid boiling under vacuum, which is of course possible with many fluids, but only in a fully sealed vacuum situation.
However, given the design of pretty much all hydraulic clutch and brake systems, this is impossible, given the seals will allow air to get in way before you'll ever be able to pull enough vacuum to boil the fluid.🤣👍
I'm not so sure those bubbles are coming out of your system. Could just be the connections in your vacuum pump leaking
Looks like a loose fitting on the slave side. That’s how all those bubbles are getting in. It’ll feel better by driving because you’re basically pumping the air from a leak. Keep an eye on that clutch fluid level👍
knew he was wrong within 2 minutes. but I kept watching for giggles :)
I hope people actually read the comments before attempting wrong methods lol
When it's just a matter of a bit of air in the hydraulic clutch system causing the clutch to engage at the bottom of the stroke I've had success by just filling the master cylinder and very rapidly pumping the clutch pedal until the bubbles find their way out...You will gradually feel increased pedal pressure as the air works it's way out. It could take several hundred strokes but still a lot easier than what you went through in this video. My method may or may not work on a completely empty system....I've never been there.
Elder Hardin did you have the car on and in neutral???
Elder Hardin I do the same thing and gets it working.
Popping the clutch like he did at first worked for me
you had no air in your line. those bubbles were from "boiling" the fluid from lower pressure not from heat. if you took science class as a kid there was an experiment where a container was filled with water then put under a vacuum, when you held it in your hand it would look like the water was boiling, but in reality the vacuum lowered the boiling point of the water to boil from the heat from your hand. you want to use as low of a vacuum as you can when bleeding brakes. and the clutch bleed you are showing people is not accurate unfortunately.
Spinnin McWinnin finally someone has some common sense you’re the only one out of many many people on here who agrees with me
Yes any fluid will bubble with enough vacuum on the tension of it’s surface
Wow.
If you had so much air in your system, your clutch wouldn’t work at all.
air is coming in through the elbow, you're not getting any air out.
That's way too
Much air
For a working clutch. Your pump
Is pulling outside air from a loose connection.
ive never seen so much air in my life come out of a clutch,good lord.those were huge bubbles man
"It's amazing my clutch worked" :D
The air in hydraulic clutches gets out by itself while driving.. Usually there's a bleeder valve on/near the transmission(looks like the brake caliper bleeder) to get the air out if there is a fair amount of air in the slave cylinder. But the easy way is pumping the clutch pedal or driving.
Not reliable method, depends on how this stuff is routed, it may work and it just as well might not work. Understand the principles to bleeding, and apply it to a specific situation, tailor the bleeding method, or methods to it to get the job done
Looks great, but it's good to see how you got the whole setup. Are you sure all those bubbles were coming from the line and not a leak in your improvised "elbow"?
3:15 is where the action starts
I just put my fish tank bubbler in my clutch fluid reserve and I fixed mines too :) no way!!! I am going to try a McDonald’s straw next I think it will make more bubbles and fix my problem even faster
I worked on vehicles for years some vehicles it's very hard to get air bowls out and this does work if you do it right everyone has their own opinion how to get rid of air bubbles but air bubbles go up not down
All that air isn't coming from the clutch system... You are sucking air into the hose from your hose connection to the little ELBOW. LOL
This guy has no idea of what he is doing.
that the air gradually worked its way out "eventually" but I literally have a bleeder tool i bought at a yard sale to do this for me made things sooo easy,.
So do you work on aircraft too?...
😅😅😅😅
I did the popping and it allowed me to get pressure in my system. After 2 days my clutch stiffened and works. I have a clutch damper and i have had a difficult time with my clutch.
Yep. An air tight seal is quite a bit tighter than a fluid seal. Some foil tape on the house connections next time!
about a year ago,i saw him driving around,he stopped at a red light and i could hear a thump,thump popping sound,this was the other day,its 2020 now.
if he is sucking with that pump then the fluid level should be going down, but its not, i dont know
Elvez da Man he didn't have a proper seal. sucked air from everywhere but the line I would think.
i Put a Clutch in a 1989 Ford Bronco FULL SIZE 5 Speed stick 4X4, i am Having a Hell of a time Bleeding this Clutch, Just Have NOT had any Luck, i Have done about everything But Vacuum Bleeding, a Trans, Shop By My House i have talked to a Few times, He said if i just need it Bleeding He will do it for free, Just Bring it down Monday, WOW, God Bless Him, if he gets it Done i surly will take care of him for his time, He said that yr truck Can Be a Real Bitch,
give the guy a break,I also tried this one time and it actually worked on a tilted master on ranger
Still air coming out, 6 years later….
Lmao, noway there was that much air in line.. Keep your day job and delete this misleading video!!! Does not work!!!
+ronfosterjr It does work, I just did it. However, I used the vaccuum system on the car instead of buying the thing he got.
Where's the second video🤣
Oooh the suspense!
Is he ok???
One of the best trolls ever
This vacuum pump is working great. Look at all this air in the line😂😂😂😂
Now i've seen it all. Dude delete this video your are embarrassing yourself
He might clean the crap floating around in the fluid out.fresh fluid with no dirt
push clutch in an its squeles like as if u had low power steering fluid 1994 mustang gt
Throw-out bearing is going out. That requires a transmission drop to fix.
no idea what your doing but good effort man!! atleast you tried lol
No holes in line. Master cylinder is dry on outside. Bleeder is closed , clutch is nearly new.... still no pressure
This guy will be sucking air for the next few years. Dude your getting air from your fittings not being tight!
Use the closed system bottle method on the slave cylinder. At least I would say.
Great video it's also went you driver from 1st then 2nd in very fast then also the clutch go's why say that it's happen to me, my clutch pedal went spongy now I have 1/4 pedal of the clutch from the floor and the car will not go into gear I have push the pedal so many time when it is running.
You should bleed the slave cylinder instead.
With that much air your clutch would not have worked. What appears to be “air” is not air, it is because the diameter hole of the elbow adapter is smaller than your 3/8” line.
why does a clutch lock? does it need more fluid or does it mean I need to buy new parts? I've spend so much on my car, and at this point i am exausted.
wtf are you doing? If your going to suck from the stop you should have the slave bleed valve open with it sucking up fluid
i don't think he read the instructions that came with the kit.
lmao
Bought one of these brake bleeders to get the air out of my clutch and maybe I do not have any air to suck out but simply sucks the brake fluid dry and I see no air bubbles and re- introduces air back into system My clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor so I thought I had air in line.
that air is from a bad connection on your elbow
Hey man, we did that too pumpin the clutch pedal adds air, cycling clutch bad idea
Do you leave to car of or off
Is that elbow made from rubber or hard plastic.
yes the air is coming from the hose
There may have been small leaks coming from the fittings, but not as
much as what was seen coming up. I've also bought the same pump and the
fittings are pretty snug and only create little bubbles if any from the
hose and fittings. BTW, check on 7:11 when the bubbles stopped.
I know. He think he forgot to close the bleeder valve
This is the funniest misinformed video I have ever seen, thanks for the laugh brother. Readers, please do not try this at home. especially on your breaks LMFAO. Mate please go and see someone who has an idea of what they are doing, you will save yourself alot of pain.
Please....You see just boiling fluid in vacuum. On the clutch pump you have a nut to make the bleeding. People, DO NOT make like this!
Very Good
Not a single technique has worked tried the vacuum pump and now it’s still not working wtf
bleed from the bleeder valve at the bottom
Clutch popping!?!? Is this a real technique
how not to bleed air from a clutch, really misleading and why the hell would you make it a part two. i actually bought the pump just to realize you had another part saying it dosn't work.
Well i had more to add after the first video and this method was shown to me so i tried it
i get that, but it's incredibly missleading just say they don't work and tell people to no waist there time with this method it would make a shorter video and save every one time
+Robert Densmore agreed this video is not the best maybe the worst but thats irelivant because theres a dozen other videos with other methods to try. sounds like to me your upset that you didnt take the time to watch *any other videos.
It may not have helped you out, but there are others that may try this and find it useful.
"FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY". How did this guy manage to install a slave cylinder? Doesn't matter because he's got cool sunglasses. Even if there was air in his slave, you'll never get it out that way. And if there was that much air in his slave there would be no room for fluid. He has a leak in one of the 2 connections at the end of that clear vinyl hose, that's where the air's coming from.
OMG this is hilarious! 😂😂😂
You should remove this video.
The joint above the fluid is loose which let the air in
IT FIXED ITSELF .....LMAO
I used an electric pump
completely wrong way to bleed the system. And the air is coming from the the elbow and hose connection. You better go watch hello kitty on you tv
Piss on those guys! I liked the video.
Good video, stop saying "ummmm" so much.
For reals dude please take this video off. All you’re doing is giving people terrible advice.
wow
Ok surely he's bullshitting everyone isn't he? I mean there's no way he really thinks that he pulled that amount of air from a clutch system that he said was working fine? I'm not calling him dumb I'm just saying he's clearly not a mechanically minded person and fluid dynamics neither am I because now I'm thinking I miss used the words but anyway delete this video before some one believes it's the way it's done and tries it and ends up costing them a huge mechanic bill!
Fail
jessaaaas.....
stop taking air out...
whata bull shit
Este vídeo es muy bueno, pero me gustaría ke lo complementarán con el vídeo del link, puede funcionar para el Pontiac G4-G5 y Chovrolet Cobalt ruclips.net/video/LEYVoULXDck/видео.html
Lol
Sorry dude but ignorance is not bliss. You are giving people false information here. Please consider removing this. The system you used is not adequate for removing air. In fact the air you see here is not from your system. Its being picked up around your connections.
Are you special needs?
Somethings wrong when you take more air out of your clutch system than what you have in all 4 tires. Think about it. Do it like he says and you'll be wasting alot of time.
There could NEVER be that much air in a hydraulic clutch line.
That air is coming from between the hose and fitting
Thats what i was wondering, it definitely made a difference though so some air did come out, could have also been from the driving it though
+BombChane11
What you did actually made air get into the clutch system :D
Bomb your reservoir would be empty if you actually removed 5% of the air your though you were removing....try adding a pinch of salt next time it'll absorb the air
Stock Block Boost LOL 😂 I saw that right away.
Should have been obvious.
You should stop working on cars.
omg!!! is this fake? it has to be. i cant believe you thought that there was that much air in there. hahahahahaha!!
There will never be that much air in the clutch hydraulics. Your bleed nipple is not fully tight. Not too loose to lose fluids but not tight enough to take air in. When you create reverse pressure the air gets sucked in through the nipple and you feel you have air in the system. Just do a normal 2 person bleed.
try putting your vacuum bleeder on your BLEEDER valve on your slave cylinder. you should definitely delete this before someone tries this and puts air in their clutch lines
codydcodyd This guy had a good idea. I tried this from the slave and i get NOTHING. Started my vehicle up and tried to put it in gear and it won't go. it's the engineers that need to go!
What if your don’t have a visible/exterior slave cylinder or even worse there is no bleeder screw/nipple?
Nabil Haidar , then you're FUCKED!✌🏻️
It could work if you put a jar of fluid or the bottle on the slave with a hose running back up to the bleeder valve. But I just suggest to it put on the bleeder valve.
@@alanross3435 😅😅
His girlfriend was full of air too!
The air is coming from the seal from the plastic hose not from the clutch
I don’t understand the hate on this video?
driving the car did nothing!!!! brake and clutch hydraulic systems do not circulate fluids!!!!! its static!!! pressure!!! if the fluid circulated there would be no pressure which is how it assists/actuates!!!

It is terrifying to think that someone who doesn't know what they are doing might watch this video and think they learned something...
Right
I think you will find you are sucking air past the seals on the master or slave cylinder.
A #8 Rubber Stopper on the Clutch Reservoir with the Brake Bleeder works great too. A vacuum on the hydraulic system removes the master cylinder's air without having to remove anything.
If the slave cylinder is not connected to the hydraulic line, put a baggy with a Zip-tie on the Slave Cylinder end which will prevent the hydraulic line's check valve from sucking in air.
Works great.
Dude there should be a round saucer looking thing in that kit, that’s is what u use to seal off the reservoir
OMFG! Are you a former special ed student?
I literally had bubbles coming out for two hours. Very helpful video.
This is a brilliant way to take all the fluid out of the system in 3 seconds but not to remove air from it
Its funny how in just about any clutch assembly each hose is made out of plastic as well as having rubber O rings in each fitting. Think about what a *master cylinder* is. A rod with indention's for yet again rubber O rings. He said it himself. dot 3-4 brake fluid will eat the paint off the side of a car. What in the hell do you think it does to all of these O rings and plastic hoses over time? It's all a scam. I would rather have a assembly of steel cables to do the work of a master or slave cylinder any day over hydraulic.
Turkey baster. Suck out fluid. Pump clutch pedal. Re add fluid wonder ?????? I’m not a handy DIY myself. Zero temps. Cannot be fighting the master or slave cylinders , I too wonder if an easy ish fix
this worked for my 2007 Dodge Caliber manual transmission..but with just the rapid petal pumping during both cap off and cap on..also pumped the brake and clutch pedals together since my Dodge Caliber shares the brake fluid with the clutch pressure plate. thanks for the information..it saved me from a very expensive transmission repair!
WOW!!!! Somebody Stop this kid and Please help him.
