Clutch master cylinder

[JDraper]

Heck, I'll throw my 2 pennies in too. This is from the Haynes repair manual on the 91-95 Explorer 5spd tranny on Bleeding the Hydraulic clutch system:

***The procedure is very similar to bleeding a brake system, but depends maninly on gravity, rather than the pumping action of the pedal, for bleeding effect.***

1) Install clutch master cylinder and connect all lines to the cylinder.
2) Raise vehicle to gain access to the bleeder valve, which is located on the left side of the clutch housing.
3) Remove dust cap and place a length of clear plastic hose over the valve. Place the other end of the hoes into a clear container.
4) Open the bleeder valve with a wrench. Fluid will run down from the master cylinder via gravity. Let the fluid run out until it is free of bubbles, being careful not to let the fluid level drop too low.
5) Close the bleeder valve.
6) Have an assistant slowly depress the clutch pedal and hold it. Open the bleeder valve on the release cylinder, allowing fluid to flow. Close the bleeder valve when the flow stops. Once the valve is closed, release the pedal.
7) Slowly press and release the pedal five times, waiting for two seconds each time the pedal is released.
8) Fill resivoir to line.
9) Clutch should now be bled. If not, repeat.


If it still doesn't work, you probably have a defective cylinder.

Hope this helps. If not, I got cramps from all this typing for 'nuttin

Actually chances are they are the same, if they are Mazda, then they are identical. The only deifference could be if you have the Mitsubishi one.

How about scanning the manual and posting it?

FASTWBOY, did you ever get a pedal? I have had to change my quick disconnect hose due to the fact that my rebuilt tranny was apparently older than my original tranny and had a different save cylinder. I too have followed every step by the letter and can't get a pedal. So, if you did please let me know how. I guess I will keep bleeding it until something or somebody stops the bleeding.

um

Now that I think about it, I think youre suppossed to disconnect the master cyl line that goes into the trans and push and release THAT valve with a screwdriver to bleed most of the air out. (hold valve open when pedal is pushed, release and allow to close before releasing pedal)

THEN when you reconnect the line to the trans, you loosen that bleed screw and let the last bit of whatever air is left out by letting some fluid squirt out then tighten and you should have a pedal and be set. Dont forget to keep the fluid resevoir topped off when bleeding.
