STANDARD PROCEDURE - CLUTCH SYSTEM
BLEED
To determine if the master cylinder assembly
requires bleeding or if the complete system requires
bleeding:
(1) Uncouple the clutch master cylinder line from
the clutch slave cylinder with quick Disconnect Tool
6638.
(2) Slowly depress the clutch pedal.
CAUTION: Do not apply too much force as this will
cause the uncoupled male coupling to blow out.
(3) If the pedal feels hard in a relatively short dis-
tance, air is present in the clutch slave cylinder.
(4) If the pedal feels spongy air is present in the
master cylinder assembly.
LINKAGE BLEED
(1) Remove the reservoir cap taking care not to
damage the diaphragm (Fig. 5). If fluid level is not
up to the step in the reservoir add D.O.T. 4 brake
fluid.
CAUTION: Use only D.O.T. 4 compatible brake fluid.
Other than D.O.T 4 will cause system malfunction.
