(03-31-2014, 03:37 AM)stan took a first date out with the car and OF COURSE SOMETHING BREAKS. the clutch decided to quit on me as we were making our way into downtown LA. ended up on the side of the road messing with the car. tried opening the clutch slave bleeder and having her pump the clutch, which was marginally effective. got me enough clutch to limp around and finish the night out.
got the car home, tried bleeding more with the clutch pedal to no effect. tried putting 1/4" ID fuel hose connecting the front passenger side brake caliper bleeder and the clutch slave bleeder, also no effect. not sure wtf to do at this point
game plan for tomorrow:
-find 3/16" ID fuel line. some threads reference this size, so maybe it's a fitment issue i'm having.
-get teflon tape. maybe the bleeder threaders on the clutch slave are a little leaky making things more difficult.
-get an oil can. there's a bunch of people using a method where you just pump fluid up through the clutch slave bleeder rather than piping it over from the brake.
if i'm still unable to get it bled using different sized hose, teflon tape on the bleeder threads, and an oil can pumping fluid up through the system, i'm going to just start replacing everything.
if i start replacing parts, and don't see any reason to do differently, it'll go in this order
1) clutch slave
2) clutch master
3) braided fill line between clutch master and fluid res
4) flex line - i really doubt this one because the flex line is one i had made at a hose shop and has good braised-on fittings and new stainless braided hose.
i've got a second date this week with the girl from the first date where the clutch originally went out. really need this damn thing working >
i say shes pretty cool if she stuck around and considered a second date.
i would agree with JB3 just replace everything you can. That stuff is probably as old as the car. the extra work would be worth it in the long run.
just look at me!
