| Post subject: | clutch airleak? |
well, about a week ago I noticed that the clutch was begining to drag a little bit, but by the time I reached my destination, I had no clutch at all. so I took the cover off and checked the plates/piston/bearing, and all seemed well. so I decided to try and bleed the clutch and sure enough there was a good bit of air in the line. after that the clutch worked fine for about a day. and then it began dragging again. same problem. all the crush washers are there and everything seems in order. now the question is how do I isolate such a slight leak? should I just say the heck with it and rebuild from master to slave? any help would be most appreciated! ............pikey |

Is there any external leakage or is it all internal? Regards Klaus PASO 750, 1990 |

:confused: does the fluid disappear as well or does it just suck in air it sounds like the o-ring in the clutch slave bearing is shot you may have to replace this or the whole bearing itself . Rodney |

Pikey, I feel your pain. This past weekend, I have spent countless hours trying to get the air out of my clutch line without success. Now I have taken the gloves off and it's me and the clutch. I took my clutch cover off, put two clear lines: one on the inlet goint to a can of brake fluid and one bleed hole. I ran the bleed hole tube through my vacuum pump. Still sucking gobs of air out. I even siliconed the piston area to see if it was leaking there. This is really blowing my mind. I can't seem to get the air out. So far, it's kicking my butt but the fight isn't over. Is there anyone else out there that has conquered this problem? |

I have no problems bleeding the clutch, but then again I have never started with the line empty. I'm never really getting much air. the problem seems solved after I bleed the line, but within 20 miles it begins dragging again. I'm getting murderously frustrated with it. I am about to just friggin rebuild the whole damn thing, from top to bottom! pikey |
