Did you bleed the clutch too? If not then it mixed with the clutch fluid.
This is my thought as well. It is pretty much impossible to get all of the fluid out of the system. You will also pick up some color from the system in general.Did you bleed the clutch too? If not then it mixed with the clutch fluid.
Oh fack! I didn't!!!Did you bleed the clutch too? If not then it mixed with the clutch fluid.
The slave cylinder and hose can only be drained by removing them, which means pulling the transmission, so it isn't surprising that you "overlooked" them.Oh fack! I didn't!!!
I read horror stories with bleeding out clutch fluid and it is hard to remediate. I've done once with my RX8 via a slow gravity drip over a few days. Can the Solstice clutch be done that way?
Wouldn't disconnecting one of the slave cylinder lines and shoving it into an empty bottle, pumping the clutch pedal several times and keeping the fluid reservoir full accomplish the bleeding/fluid changing for the clutch circuit?The slave cylinder and hose can only be drained by removing them
There is only one line from master to slave and the only accessible connection that I know of is at the master cylinder. Disconnecting it will allow you to flush the master, but nothing really allows for emptying the slave.Wouldn't disconnecting one of the slave cylinder lines and shoving it into an empty bottle, pumping the clutch pedal several times and keeping the fluid reservoir full accomplish the bleeding/fluid changing for the clutch circuit?
Hmmm. I was under the impression that there were 2 connections at the slave, like a return line or something similar. I might be mistaken but remember seeing the slave cylinder / clutch actuator having 2 tubes coming out of it...There is only one line from master to slave
Please allow me to add a caveat to this frequent response on the forum to this question if I may…This is my thought as well. It is pretty much impossible to get all of the fluid out of the system. You will also pick up some color from the system in general.
John is correct. Just the one line.Hmmm. I was under the impression that there were 2 connections at the slave, like a return line or something similar. I might be mistaken but remember seeing the slave cylinder / clutch actuator having 2 tubes coming out of it...
