My F***ing clutch hydrolics have gone out again! This is the 4th time in about 10k miles! Every time it happens, I replace the master and slave, then bleed and its good. I always attempt to bleed the system before replacing the cylinders, but it usually just sucks air into the system once it's broken. I am at a total loss as to what could be causing these constant failures. The replacements are very straight forward and simple, so it isn't so complicated that something could be getting F'd up.

I have decided to rule out all other possibilities and just replace the entire clutch hydrolic system. I will first replace the lines, then attempt to bleed. If that does not fix the problem, then I will replace the cylinders...again.

It seems as though I have a very slow leak that is letting air in, but not fluid out. It seems as though after a month with new clutch cylinders, the engagement point starts slowly moving towards the floor. The change happens so slowly that I don't notice it. After about 2 months on the cylinders, the engagement is at the floor. In a period of a week after that, it will go from engaging at the floor, to getting a little rough going into gear. Another week and now I can't get it in gear at all without slamming the clutch down hard. This is the same thing that happened last time and it turned out last time that the master was slowly sucking air into the system. We'll see what happens this time.


Has anyone on here replaced their hydrolic lines for any reason? I am assuming it will be as simple as disconnecting and swapping in the new ones, but if anyone has any advice, please tell...

 

I am going to bump this thread because i have a similar problem. It is only the first time that my clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor, and doesnt disengage the clutch. I was going to try and bleed the system, but am not sure where to start?

 

Respect,
Here's a bit of info on bleeding the clutch from a few of us that have done it a few times.
Replace the master and slave cylinders as a pair so you don't have to do double work a couple weeks later.

+1. Also, do not bother replacing the hydraulic lines, unless they look rusted (unlikely).

 

Thanks!

 

The only reason I am even considering replacing the hydrolic lines is that air keeps getting into the system a month after I replace a part. I don't see how the cylinders can keep failing. I am just trying to rule out all possibilities. I have over 100k miles and I figure I will start with all new parts for the clutch control and see what happens.
