The clutch is sticking to the floor sometimes when I hold it in too long? Some have said the clutch slave & master may be going out?


I know on my previous car (srt-4), there was a resevour specifically for the clutch fluid....is the '93 Rx7 the same way? I've looked under the hood around the Power steering resevour area, and the blake fluid resevour area and cannot find a resevour that holds clutch fluid?

any help is appreciated....thanks.

 

Used to happen to me sometimes. Bleeding the clutch solved my problem. Speedbleeds rule.

 

Is there a how-to on bleeding the clutch in this car? I'm completely new to Rx7's, but I know brake fluid is basically clutch fluid, so.....

I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction, thanks!

 

brake is the clutch

 

so, the brake fluid resevour is the clutch fluid resevour also?

confusing....=O(


so when I bleed the clutch, I'm going to have the bleed the brakes at the same time also??

 

basically yeah. same resivoir.

 

The brake and clutch have separate master cylinders, but they are fed from the same reservoir. As long as you keep the reservoir reasonably full, you can treat them like separate systems.

To bleed the clutch, life the front of the car and find the clutch slave. You'll find it on the transmission, on the bell housing, near where the drivers right foot would be. Then bleed it like a brake, but obviously using the clutch pedal to push the fluid. Remember to not overtighten the bleeder nipple.
