drained a little clutch lever fluid now it doesnt work

[Anonymous]

i accidently drained some clutch fluid, note not clutch oil , but clutch lever fluid and i refilled it but it doesnt work correctly, or atleast it doesnt have the same feel to it. anyone know what it could be.

ps this isnt not a gs

Needs to be bled.

and then what?

[Billy Ricks]

Then it should have hydraulic pressure and it will work. You likely picked up air when you lost fluid.

the valve on the actual clutch thinger mebob is what i should remove to bleed it right? and then just pump the lever until fluid stars squirting out? or no?

[Billy Ricks]

I'm not sure how your setup is. You should have a bleeder valve on the slave cylinder I would think.

yea thats what im talking about, i open this valve and do what?

[Billy Ricks]

Bleed it the way you would bleed brakes. Replace lost fluid with brake fluid.

Typically when bleeding clutch cylinders(master or slave) you either depress the pedal(auto) or pull the lever(motorcycle), crack the bleed screw, let fluid out, tightend bleed screw, release pedal or lever slooooooowly then repeat 'til all air is removed. DO NOT PUMP! Now what vehicle are you inquiring about?
