clutch master cylinder/slave cylinder

[the gimpey one]

How can i check the master and slave cylinders on the dent to see if they are working. My 60 seems to always want to grind into reverse and the clutch hasn't got much pressure to it. Seems to shift fine forward but sometimes 2nd can be a pain until it warms up.

look for leaks. Pull the boot back on the slave. Look on the inside of the master above your carpet

Probably a good time to bleed the system as well.

no leaks. how do i bleed system?

 

[dohcdelsol93]

fill system full of fluid. Have someone pump the clutch pedal until stiff (or a dozen times if it never stiffens) then hold the pedal all the way down. While pedal is held down open bleeder valve.

Tighten bleeder valve, person in truck lets off clutch pedal, check fluid and repeat until no air is coming out of the lines and all you see is new/fresh fluid AND a stiff clutch pedal.

What does bleeder valve look like. I never done this before so i have no idea.

Looks like a nipple,just like the one on brake calipers. I might be putting the motor Tom if u want to meet up and look at mine
