Help! Bleeding Clutch Issue

Post by moita »

Hi all,

I need some support, as I have tried all method, and to see if someone had the same issue. Before dismantling all 😅 by the way, have done brakes are very good, was suppose that clutch was easier (as done before), but being annoying.
I have tried pressure bleed, vacuum bleed, clutch pedal bleed.. and none seem to have a good result.

What happens is if I take foot really off from floor position (quickly) I listen like fast recovery noise (like boot suspension when we force them, like cavitation sound).

The thing is that when I press and take it off quickly and repeat it quickly the slave cylinder keeps moving forward and forward.. so maybe some air is getting in? If tends to rest, the first approach is good, than really hard and the noise when I release.

Note: new Lockheed slave (sounds like not having a clip outside), and rebuild kit on master cylinder

Thank you,

Nuno M.

Sounds like the master cylinder isn’t fully returning. Is the pedal holding pressure on the master cylinder for some reason?

Maybe.. that explains the quick return sound? The slave cylinder does move.
