the mad kiwi Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 How normal is this low bite problem? I have today got around to fitting new master cylinder (courtesy of beastgtir) installed, pumped tons of fluid through and kept topping up. Closed nipple with pedal to floor. At first couldnt disengage clutch at all but kept pumpingPedal until finally it disengaged. Ive checkf for leaks and reservoir full, but still the bite point is still mm's from the floor. Why is this? I was hoping it would be normal so I wonder if ive missed something. Any help appreciated. Jakedid you bleed the master first or did you start at the slave?

KiNK43 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I didnt know I could bleed master. Conected it all ur. Undid nipple. Hose into tub,Pumped fluid and topped up res about 7 times then had friend keep pedal down to floor while I tightened nipple. So shouldnt be air in there. I was led to believe nipple is one way valve so wont suck air in anyway? Well its drivable but waste of time and money relacing cylinder so far.Thanks for replies buds.

Touge_battle Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 yes you can ajust biting point,12mm nut on arm of master cylinder rod going to clutch pedal,slack 12mm nut and turn rod to biting point is right for you then tightern 12mm nut back upjust set it on my own mb6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyricer Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 If all hydraulics seem fine maybe start looking at the clutch itself or the armJust a suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Yep thats what I need to do. Positive its not the clutch. Bite is very strong, no slipping but maybe its about to start giving me grief ay. 100k on the clock on its original clutch! Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
