sti version 6 clutch bleed

[tez n u]

How long does it take to bleed the clutch system in a version 6?? I replaced the master cylinder in my car so wanted to know how long it takes and the best way of doing it.

follow the clutch lines up to the spagetti junction behind the shock tower, theres a "t' piece with a bleeding nipple on it, bleed from there as its the highest point in the system. should only take 10mins max.

I had a mechanic try to bleed mine from the slave nipple and the pedal just sits on the floor!! He tried telling me my pedal needs adjusting :, pretty sure it just needs to be bled from the other nipple.

Might get to it this weekend actually, good reminding.

Did your master get fried from your exhaust housing on the monter huffer?

Dont know if it was the turbo or normal wear and tear as the car has almost done 160kms, the bigger turbo does sit a lot closer to the clutch master cylinder.

Bleed the master 1st (can't remember if Subaru have nipple on master) - you should allways bleed down the line so master first then slave last - 2 people job as one to pump pedal - should be 5-10 min max

Ok sweet, is it normal for the pedal to feel a lot firmer then before??

Ok after the bleeding process the slave cylinder rod that connects to the fork which moves the release bearing doesnt have any play in it, i have heard that the slave rod is suppose to have a bit of play init so it doesnt preload the system. Does anyone have any ideas on why its doing this?? Also does anyone know how much a brnad new master cylinder is from subaru?? Im going to buy a brand new one if i cant solve this problem.

Ok, all fixed the master cylinder reservoir bleed valve was blocked that's why the slave cylinder didn't have any movement when you try push it back with your fingers
