Hey guys was bleeding my clutch this morning

if you read my other clutch posts recently, you'll know why !

but i was bleeding the clutch, and has anyone noticed that when your bleeding it and pumpin the clutch it sometimes get stuck on the floor

just wondering if thats normal, cause if it isnt well somethings wrong im guessing haha

but just took the car for a spin,

it did have a bit of air in the system when we bled it, but all good now and

clutch is in the right spot for the time being

just waiting for it to readjust itself again though.

Thanks

It will get stuck on the floor when you are bleeding it, thats normal. You just have to pump it a few times with your hand.

The clutch won't really adjust it's self, if it does not have the right free board etc your going to need to get under the dash and adjust the rod.

yeah we have adjusted the rod 4 times b4hand as the pedal has adjusted itself

first it moved and had heaps of free travel, we adjusted it, then 3 days later

it moved again and had abosolutley no free travel and was engagin right at puttin my foot on the pedal, we adjusted it again, and same thing happened

so thats where we are up to we bled it again and adjusted the pedal

so see how it goes

Thanks for ya help

Best way I have found to bleed clutch, brakes etc is gravity bleed. Just top up fluid, attach hose to bleed nipple (and into bottle) then crack the bleed nipple and let it trickke out under gravity. Guaranteed to get all the air out, no pumping. Takes a little longer, but it works well. Just dont let the reservoir get low, obviously.

If your pedal is self adjusting, was this a manual conversion car? If so, did you fasten the upper bolt that holds the top of the clutch pedal bracket under the dash. I've had first hand experience with one that wasn't bolted in. Through usage, the pedal bracket was bending slowly but surely until there was no more room to disengage the clutch. We kept having to adjust the rod to keep up but finally got the bolt put in (after bending the bracket back into shape that is)
