Yes, very helpful vid! PROTIP for Miata Community: After installation of parts and doing the BLEED job...if you have trouble with getting all air bubbles out of line after numerous repeated attempts -- try removing the Bleed Screw and applying a couple of layers of Teflon Plumbers Tape (don't cover bleed hole, though) on threads. After a lot of frustration, this finally eliminated air leaking back into the Slave cylinder (despite the Bleed Screw being fully tightened), facilitating a vacuum for the air bubble-free flow of brake fluid and completion of the Bleeding. Hope this helps others facing this predicament !!

I would recommend to rotate the house clamp on the brake booster, so that it's not facing your hands when you're breaking free the master cylinder bolts. Stupid clamp sent me to the ER.

Great vid, thanks. 1996 Miata M5 suddenly will not go into gear unless the car is not running and the clutch pedal has almost zero pressure. I replaced the master as well as the slave cylinder thinking that would fix the problem as there was fluid coming from the slave cylinder however there is still no pressure at the clutch pedal. Now I see that the slave cylinder is not being effected by the depression of the clutch pedal...any suggestions?

@GearHeadsGarageChannel

Get a vacuum bleeder and bleed it till the clutch pedal is stiff and it moves the slave, have someone else pump and hold the pedal and double check the lines from beginning to end for leaks. It is a very simply hydraulic circuit, either you have air in it or a leak or maybe a failed internal master cyl but only testing and verifying will narrow it down.

Really good video. Any different (parts or otherwise) for an NB? My symptoms are all of a sudden it won't go into gear. If I try to push it into gear with clutch in, the car actual creeps forward a bit. Can only get it into gear with car off, then start it and clutch behaves normally but only for that gear. Won't go back into gear after taking it out (unless car is off). Any ideas? Thanks!

I’m having trouble getting my hardline bolt off on my old slave, using a 10mm and it just won’t budge, do you have any suggestions?

@GearHeadsGarageChannel

6 жыл бұрын

If you cant get it with a 10mm without spinning on the nut(which will mess up the nut and make it even harder) try and buy a 10mm Hex crows foot wrench from a parts store or online and you can apply more pressure that way to break it loose without damaging the nut. If the nut does get damaged, use a file and flatten the rounded edges to either try again with a smaller wrench or get two good flat spots and a pair of vice grips with a pipe over the top to break it loose. In this case though you'd want to end up replacing the nut/line!

Hey I was driving one day and the car suddenly went off with a battery signal, like when it stalls after selecting the wrong gear. Then the next day I woke up to find I lost all pressure in the clutch pedal that now goes all the way without any resistance and the car won't go in to gear when it's on. When it's off, it still selects gears are smoothly as ever. My modest research lead me to this slave and master cylinder replacement, am I on the right path?

@GearHeadsGarageChannel

Yes you have a clutch hydraulic issue, either a leak in the line or slave cylinder or the master is bad. Check the fluid level if its still completely full and you dont see any other leaks on the line or slave cyl then its a bad master.

My lines won't bleed. I've been through 2 masters and 2 slaves. New oem line. It still won't build pressure.

Can you see the movement on the slave? If the pedal is not getting stiff it may be a problem at the clutch itself and not lack of pressure in the line.

Hey have you guys ever replaced the clutch replaced the hydraulic system line and all and the car won’t go into gear? It will when the miatas off but won’t when the car is on I got a straight shot braided line from miataroadster but I can’t get the car to get into gear for the life of me after a few days bleeding it has no effect no depression once the slave is bled but liquid will come out of the nipple and pressure does build on the pedal not sure what I did wrong I’m afraid I didn’t install the pilot bearing or throw out bearing correctly only way to tell is to pull off the transmission god forbid I over torqued the PP any input will be appreciated thank you! 🙏

@GearHeadsGarageChannel

5 жыл бұрын

Overtorquing the PP is very unlikely to cause this, if nothing else are you sure the clutch fork is lined up and installed properly? If you have the system bled and are sure there is no air in it then when someone is pushing the pedal you need to see if the slave cyl rod is pushing it. If it is but not enough(which is what it sounds like since you cant get in gear) then you either have air in your line still and havent properly bled it, or your master cyl is bad, or your clutch pedal needs adjusted.

Might want to get a cheap vacuum bleeder from a parts store and use suction to get the fluid coming through and bled properly. Make sure you have ALL air out of the lines, if you still have no pressure and there are no leaks and your slave piston isnt moving then maybe you need to adjust your clutch pedal but if that is the same as before I highly doubt it.

Whenever I bleed it

why not use a vacuum bleeder to do this like you would on brakes?

I'm not sure about this bleeding method. usually what I see is 1) pedal down (one time!) 2) open bleeder 3) close 4) pedal up. don't see the need of the pumping, the fluid is not going anywhere.

@GearHeadsGarageChannel

Nebbia affaraccimiei Getting more bubbles and air out at once. No Mechanic I know(I am one too btw) only does one. In my opinion the best time is once you feel the pedal start to firm up. When you are first starting the bleed you might not have enough pressure to do this though so less pumps between opening the bleeder can be more effective. For the record your right the fluid isnt going anywhere! But unlike the fluid, air compresses and that is actually what you are trying to get rid of anyway, not fluid!

I got a "miata clutch line" from Goodridge and it has female connectors on each end, wtf is it for? It's pretty clear that I need a female to male line so that the male end can go into the slave cylinder.

I have not used that one before, but looking at it quickly, instead of the style you get from goodwin racing, or 949 racing(Like I have and used here) that replaces the whole line from the firewall down to the slave, the one you got likely ONLY replaces the rubber section of it, keeping that coiled hard line in tact like the factory one. Check that out as that would be my best guess.

But if you ever do, I know what you mean about that being a bitch to get to, the other options out there go straight from the firewall to the slave so they are much easier to deal with and give you more room to get your hands down there if you ever have to pull the transmission etc. Not worth replacing obviously since you just got a new one, but $30 for one down the line if you ever have to tear into it again might be worth it!
