[Mk2] [NA] Clutch Bleeding

Post by westymr2 »

Hi,

The clutch on my new MR2 is slipping and has a extremely high biting point.

My thoughts are to bleed the system and try adjusting the pedal as the clutch has been replaced in the last few thousand miles.

Has anyone got any tips for bleeding the clutch?

Thanks

Josh

It does not sound like it needs bleeding at all.
Adjust the pedal so you have the correct amount of free play and see if it still slips, I am sure it will as it has been before and will need replacing again

Bleed as you would a brake caliper.

Thanks yeh I think I'm in denial about it needing a clutch. I don't really fancy changing it... so I'm going to try every other possibility first!

Any tips on bleeding it anyway... The fluid is due a change as is unknown age and been sat for at least a couple of years

Cheers,

Josh
