Clutch issues

Lowlife87

Ok. I need help
I have replaced all the clutch except the hard lines. Bleed everything 3 times. ( it getting better) It still grinds goin in to reverse and hard to get in to first. If you go slow it will it will go with little grind and a little force In to first. It feels spongy but I drive a 1 ton with a heavy clutch. It does idle a little high but not tach to see exact. It’s not 1500 high just higher than idle. Is that my prob or do I need to bleed again. Thanks in advance

I think bleed it more.

MazdaMitch I think bleed it more.

I would do same. By the way: I ALWAYS bench bleed clutch master and brake master, all vehicles; that wets the seals, and many instructions with the masters state to do this.

Mrcrowley I did a video not too long ago where I replaced the slave cylinder and I mentioned in the video about the copper crush washer that no longer comes with them that you'll need to supply yourself.

This helps seal it and what may be happening is your bleeding it but you're getting air back in it because you don't have it anyways you can watch the video to see what I'm talking about you may or may not have one.

OMG - I just assumed the original poster would've used a crush washer ! Anyway, I have the copper crush washer assortment from Harbor Freight, and find that very useful. I just used a 12mm one from that yesterday when I did an oil change on my 2004 Frontier.
