I just had a guy put on my FMIC today and i'm having a problem with the clamps not being tight enough and pipes blowing off. anyway, the car drove fine the 18ish miles home. And i decided to really tighten down those clamps as hard as i could and see if they would still blow... took it for a test and next thing i know the clutch pedal was loosing pressure. i dont understand b/c it does it if its sitting or i'm driving. It looses pressure after pushing around 10 or so times. but if you give it a minute the pressure builds back up???? i dont get it... i checked my fluid and its all good. any suggestoins?

 

somebody please help!?!?!!

 

bump

 

im gonna guess a leak right down by where the line meets the block. Actually...if it builds pressure again im going to guess that its a master cylinder going bad. good luck

 

bleed it, there may be some air traped in the line somewhere

 

yea i figured i would bleed it, i drove it for a good hour today and not a problem... ??? i was confused b/c it didnt loose pressure once. i figured it was prolly air or somethin. anybody got info on how to bleed it? and if that doesnt work and it still does it then i guess i'll need to replace to master and slave.

 

if it is air the MC may need a rebuild, you'll know when you bleed it and you get air in the line again
