    how do you install a clutch master cylindwer on a 1992 trans am?

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    same as a brake master with one less line. Disconnect line and unbolt from firewall. reverse to install, bleed.

    You can try attaching a rubber hose to bleed valve and running it into a jar with some fluid in ti. that way no air can enter while youre working. system should clear much faster than brakes...there isn't much there.

    Do it again...sure the master is OK? (could be internally bypassing) No leaks? even where pedal rod goes into back of master?

    same as bleeding brakes there is a bleeder valve on it.

How to bleed the slave cylinder

Same as bleeding brakes. Have someone depress the clutch pedal and hold it while another opens the bleeder on the slave cylinder; and close the bleeder before the clutch pedal is released. If a helper is not available to depress the clutch you can run a hose from the bleeder to a container with enough fluid in it to keep the hose covered, then slowly pump the clutch pedal until the air is out of the cylinder.

Thn the problem is the clutch master cylinder, it should build up pressure, ok try out this, remove the pipe which is going to the slave cylinder either from the clutch master cylinder or at the clutch slave cylinder and get someone to pump the pedal while you block the pipe and see if there is fluid thrown out with pressure.If there is pressure there thn fit back the pipe and refill the reserviour wth brake fluid and open the bleeding nipple at the slave cylinder let some fluid pour out and tighten it and thn pump the pedal and retry bleeding.
If there is no pressure at the pipe thn its the clutch master cylinder.
Hope this helps!

Clutch pedal stays 2 the floor on a hydralic clutch system on a 2000 camaro v8. clutch master cylinder is new also slave cylinder and clutch and pressure plate

Did you bleed the system? When you replace the the master and/or slave cylinder you have to bleed the system just as you would with brakes. There is a bleed screw on the slave cylinder. Open the bleed screw, have a helper depress and hold the clutch pedal down.Tighten the bleed screw, then release clutch. Repeat this procedure until you have removed all air from the system and the clutch pedal is firm. Keep an eye on the fluid level to avoid sucking air into the system. If you have done this, remember there is a possibility that the master or slave cylinder is defective.

Stuck clutch pedal on a Mazda B series truck

Replace both clutch slave and master cylinders, and bleed well. I've also had this happen.

The clutch on my car stuck to the floor. I check the reservoir was completely empty. I have a feeling the slave cylinder is filled with air. I'll need to get the schematics to see how to bleed the clutch.

Bleeding the clutch is similar to bleeding brakes. You'd pump the clutch pedal several times to get the pressure up, and then open the bleeder on the slave cylinder (mounted down on the transmission). Repeat and add fluid as needed until no air comes out.

Two things - first off, some cars have more than one bleed point (the Nissan 300ZX is one of those), so be sure there is only the slave cylinder to bleed. Second, if it went right to the floor, something failed - either the slave cylinder or the master cylinder. Changing the slave is relatively easy - usually two bolts and it comes off, you put on a new one, and bleed it as described above. Often the slave cylinder is less than $30, so it's worth it to try changing it if you can't get the pedal to come back off the floor on its own. A clutch master is significantly more expensive and more difficult to change, so start cheap and easy and replace the slave cylinder if you can't pump the pedal to get pressure built up for a bleed.
