06 - Clutch/Standard Procedure

STANDARD PROCEDURE - CLUTCH SYSTEM BLEED

NOTE: Be certain the clutch pedal returns to the upper most position while bleeding the clutch system.

NOTE: It may take as many as two hundred strokes of the clutch pedal to properly bleed the clutch system.

1. Check the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir. If the brake fluid level is not up to the step in the reservoir, add DOT 4 brake fluid.

2. Slowly depress the clutch pedal.

               a. If pedal feels hard in a short distance, air is present in the clutch slave cylinder.

               b. If pedal feels spongy, air is present in the clutch master cylinder.

3. Continue checking the fluid level while depressing and releasing the clutch pedal. Depress and release the clutch pedal until an appropriate clutch pedal response and feel is achieved.

Make certain that the input shaft has been thoroughly cleaned and that no burrs are present.

·        Failure to fix input shaft can cause little or no release once installed.

·        Lightly coat the input shaft with Mopar 05083150AA multi-purpose grease. Push the clutch disc all the way back on the shaft and wipe away any excess.

Dodge states that new cover assembly mounting bolts must be used. Part number 06508880AA.
