Yesterday i replaced my master cylinder because i was having a problem with my clutch not dissengaging properly. I just got a new heavy duty clutch put in aswell. I replaced the master cylinder - but how do i bleed it correctly? at the moment the clutch pedal has no tension on it, you put the pedal down and it stays down. What i have been doing is filling up brake fluid in the master cylinder, opening the slave a bit, pumping it a few times so the liquid squirts out then closing it back up again.....still no luck. What am i doing wrong? Would appreciate some help.

Cheers!

Ok, i've found out how to do it. For anyone that would like to bleed their clutch, this is the process to follow.

Requires two people.

1) Fill up master cylinder.

2)replace cap on MC

3)get someone to push down clutch pedal and hold it down.

4) on MC, open bleeder valve to let out air/fluid.

5) tighten bleeder valve up again

6) Lift up clutch pedal.

Repeat process until no air. Do the same on the slave cylinder located on the gearbox.

If its the same as doing the brakes you can just put a clear tube from the bleed nipple to a clear bottle with brake/clutch fluid in it and pump the pedal till no air bubbles come out in the bottle anymore.. Can anyone confirm if that process will work the same as it does on the brakes?
