[Mgs] New Clutch Slave Cylinder (MGA) problem

[h.duinhoven at planet.nl]

Bleeding can be time consuming.

My son repeatedly pressed the pedal in, whereafter I opened the bleed valve.

The spring pressure of the clutch makes the slave piston move backwards including pushing the liquid and air out of the bleed valve. After many times repeating this procedure, the system was fine.

Same procedure for refreshing the liquid every 2 years.

 

Cheers,

Hans

That's new to me.  When doing it solo, I attach a tube to the bleed screw on the slave cylinder, run it into a partially full catch basin and slowly pump the clutch pedal until all the air is pumped out of the system, adding fluid as necessary to the master cylinder so it doesn't go dry.   This has always worked for me.

Bleeding is a pain on the MGB, what usually works is to wedge the pedal fully down overnight then release it carefully - i.e. not with a bang - next morning.  This displaces any air bubbles which allows them to flow to a loop at the top of the pipe (on the MGB) then releasing the pedal next morning flushes it back into the reservoir.
