Clutch friction point changing

[vinnY]

did you bench bleed the new clutch master cylinder before putting it in?

[Limbo]

your supose to bleed it without attaching the lines first, to get the oil going thru the cylinder, then attach the lines and then bleed

[RandyRhydah]

il give it a go.. but it was doing it before i put the new master cilinder in..

[RandyRhydah]

ok guys bled the master cylinder on its own then put the lines back and bled again, yet to test it but all the fluid coming out when i bleed it is black, and it goes in blue. can this be a sign of old shitty lines or something?

[vinnY]

just sounds like old fluid to me
see how it drives first, not much else to go wrong unless your slave cylinder is bad

Just keep bleeding it til it comes out blue.

[RandyRhydah]

it feels alot better.. but still the friction point changed once when it was idling for about 5 minutes as i was getting lunch.. will keep bleeding untill clean and hope for the best.

[RandyRhydah]

gone back to aids again.. any other advice?

[vinnY]

did you replace that leaky line?

[RandyRhydah]

sure did... new master cilinder different slave cilinder (not new) also replaced the rod in the slave cilinder with a longer one to make sure i was getting full throw (had sort of the same problem with my old lancer and this fixed it) and replaced feed line to resoviour and bled about a million times by 3 different people now.

im not 100% if it is using fluid or not, there is no visual leaks anywere except the bottom of the resiviour is wet to touch, although i think thats because of me overfilling it. so i wiped it down and going to keep my eye on it if it gets wet around there again.

what else could cause it? my firewall engine mount has collapsed in on itself, but i doubt that will effect the clutch at all but thought id throw that in just incase...

[RandyRhydah]

brand new slave cylinder fixed it... thank god! if anyone has the same problem new master and slave cylinders and double check there is no leaky lines at all. then it should be alright

[RandyRhydah]

ok i lied... its gone back to its old ways 3 days after old slave cylinder.. so it must must be after a fresh bleed it behaves for a bit. ordering new lines from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder... if this doesnt fix it i have no idea? every clutch component is brand new...
