HELP! need help bleeding clutch

[Nick_96_RSB]

Need Some Local Help if anyone is available,

need to bleed my clutch, but from what i gather i need a second set of hands & someone who knows how to get top mount off bleed clutch and put top mount back on as i have never done it

can pay you in cash or beer tomorrow when i get paid

am free all night tonight, have work from 8pm tomorrow, and supposed to pick my brother up from the airport & head out of town @ 2:30 thursday arvo ( can possibly push this back a couple of hours if need be

i have extra brake fluid, i don't have the little bottle to catch the bled fluid

If I can't find help here, will be ringing around garages in welly tomorrow to see if i can find someone to do it short notice. there is a garage right near my house but the guy is a muppet & cut the brake lines on my old mans subbie the last time he touched it, so would prefer not to take it to him if i can avoid it, car is still mobile so i can come to whoever can help

To Anyone that can help i will be forever in your debt!

Cheers

hey bro im free tomorrow... i can show you or do it for you...

[Nick_96_RSB]

San, you are a Legend!!!! I don't mind getting my hands dirty, so if you can show/help me would be awesome, I don't have all that many tools, but can come to you, what time are you free? still got my number? if not ill PM you it, ill be free all day

[Nick_96_RSB]

San was busy so took it to the garage near my house, he didn't bother bleeding it reckons the Hydraulics are fine, so must be plate

so will take it up to palmy and get clutch replaced & Flywheel skimmed when i get back to welly

Nice to here it is sorted.

What clutch are going for.excedy organic hd clutch.?

[Nick_96_RSB]

its not sorted quite yet lol!

San says he has an almost new clutch, so ill probably pick that up if he doesn't need it, not sure what it is, probably OEM I imagine

I don't launch or do any track work so just a standard clutch will do me for now at least, and being my daily I don't want anything that I'll need a cement brick attached to my foot to push in lol

[Guest DUSWLO]

Fair enough then Excedy organic ones are good.better than a stock one thats for sure.im running one in mine and its probly the best clutch iv had.

But like u say oem will do fine for now

[Nick_96_RSB]

yer, once/if i start putting more power through the engine then ill probably look at going something more heavy duty

and Welly traffic is start stop, start stop ,so something a bit easier on the left jandal is good for now haha, mainly just want the car running properly again and warrant runs out next week so need to get sorted sooner rather than later.

So I reckon new clutch + skim flywheel or pick one up that i can get done beforehand to reduce downtime of car + Flush Fluid should hopefully get the gremlins out

[Guest DUSWLO]

Sounds like the way too go.and yeh if u can pick up a flywheel cheap might be good to do that.will save yu time.mind u bnt skimd my old flywheel in like 15-20mins whch wasnt too bad.

Hah yeh idont blame yu.stop start traffic +HEAVY duty clutch= a pain lol

Recently had the clutch replaced in the GTB (same oe part as STI apparently...), had it done via Autotech in Rangiora.

Was $1143.45 - work included flywheel machining, new spigot bearing, clutch kit and also adjusted the handbrake brake pedal &topped up fluid (requested it)...

Was pretty cheap (prefer them over the dealer in CHCH)...

[Nick_96_RSB]

Jeebus, fingers crossed it wont be quite that much. wont be getting it done at a workshop, will either get Rick or San or someone to do it when time allows

[subieboy]

That was genuine OEM item, plus adding labour and incidental items...

[Nick_96_RSB]

yer, pretty lucky here in welly, some pretty onto it folks who's labour is alot cheaper than workshop prices and i don't mind being a donkey as long as someone tells me what to do lol
