Some People have had problems with their trasmissions/clutches. This is the FSM Bleeding procedure for the T850 transmission clutch hydraulic system. It has been posted before but I am putting this up so everyone can see it if and when they get a similar problem. I just recently replaced Jeans Slave cylinder and soon the master cylinder. I have done the bleeding procedure as described and does work nicely. *DCX says it's a non bleed system*

Procedure for bleeding Clutch Hydraulics ​

2.4L Engine (With Turbo)​

From driver’s seat, actuate clutch pedal 60–100 times. Verify clutch operation/pedal feel. If pedal still feels spongy, or clutch does not fully disengage, excessive air is still trapped within the system. Perform the following procedure:​

(1) Verify fluid level in clutch master cylinder reservoir.
Top off with DOT 3 brake fluid as necessary.
(2) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(3) Remove clutch slave cylinder/damper assembly from the transaxle case, but do not disconnect from the hydraulic system. Lift nylon tab
with a small screwdriver, and then depress cylinderinward towards case and rotating cylinder 60° counter-clockwise. Allow the slave cylinder hang, making it the lowest part of the system.

CAUTION: While slave cylinder is detached from the​

transaxle, DO NOT actuate the clutch master cylinder.
Damage to the slave cylinder will result.



(4) Depress slave cylinder pushrod until it bottoms and then release. Repeat this at least ten (10) times, forcing trapped air upwards and out of the system.
(5) Install clutch slave cylinder into position, noting orientation of different sized lugs. While depressing inward, rotate slave cylinder clockwise until nylon locating tab rests in transaxle case cutout, and the hydraulic tube is vertical

(6) Lower vehicle.​

(7) Check and adjust clutch master cylinderfluid level. Actuate clutch pedal thirty (30) times. Verify clutch operation/pedal feel. If pedal still feels spongy,
or clutch does not fully disengage, air is still trapped within the system. Repeat Step 3 - Step 7 until air is purged. If several attempts at purging air from the system are unsuccessful, replace both the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder assemblies.
(8) Raise vehicle.
(9) Lower vehicle.
(10) Top off clutch master cylinderfluid level with
DOT 3 brake fluid as necessary.

just finished putting this thread together and hope it helps some of you that are having "tranny" problems.

Nice stuff!

This should be done with the fluid cap on or off? I would assume off, I just gotta make sure though.

Another thing that doesn't make sense to me, is that they say it's a non bleed system, but they still sell the parts seperately. You'd think they'd sell the master, line(s), hose(s), and slave all as an assembly, no questions asked. Wierd.

BTW, what exactly does FSM mean?

FSM means "Factory Service Manual"

It should be with the cap off.

Usually the master and slave cylinder come with the Brake fluid already in it. this allows the parts to be joined without getting air in the system.

 

[BigPowerfulMachine]

Oh ok, I could have figured that it meant that, but it just didn't make sense how DC says it's a "non-bleed system", but then the factory service manual says how to bleed it. Whatever.

 

[go_BLUE_2]

I will have to give this a shot to see fi it helps with my problems shifting into Reverse.

is the pushrod coming thru the firewall from teh clutch master cyl supposed to be able to wiggle back and forth at all? mine does about and inch or so back and forth..it feels loosae as all hell. I think it may be why those clutch pedal pivot retaining clips keep breaking on mine.

Im going to assume i need a new clutch master cylinder.

 

[Sota]

Sticky!

 

[jnmopar]

thank you

This is all I need to get my ride on the road sweet. I blew up my motor and did a pt gt swap everything came out fine I just could not bleed the damn slave cyl.

 

[beyondspexj]

quick simple question, do you leave the cap on or off while bleeding system?

 

[beyondspexj]

nm got it figured out yestrday. my master was toast..

 

[stocksilversrt4]

Should this be done on my car with 70000 miles on it? I have never changed the clutch or had the slave off.

 

[beyondspexj]

if you dont have any issues then no.

 

[mannifresh]

how do you know if your master cylinder is toast? I just did a clutch TOB fork and slave cylinder and it wont go into 1st or Revers!! and I have to use two hands to put it in the other gears aswell

 

[beyondspexj]

you need to readjust your clutch pedal under the dash and adjust your shift cables from under the center console. sounds more like your shift cables need adjustment.

 

[H22-T]

how much clutch fluid do we need and is it okay to use dot 4 synthetic

I recently replaced my ACT clutch with another ACT clutch and it is still slipping and now has a knocking noise when the pedal is pushed all the way in. I called ACT and they said to try readjusting the pedal. I told the shop that and they said you don't readjust it because it's hydrolic not cable. Is that true? He said the only thing he could try is bleeding it. Do you think that could help?

 

[ozzie_24]

I have a question if you replace the clutch master cylinder and the clutch slave cylinder do you still need to bleed the clutch?

 

[Slowryd]

I have a question if you replace the clutch master cylinder and the clutch slave cylinder do you still need to bleed the clutch?

If they came as a complete unit no.
