Power Bleeding Clutch Hydraulic Circuit

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Use Mopar brake fluid, or an equivalent quality fluid meeting DOT 3 standards only. Use fresh, clean fluid from a sealed container at all times.
  2. Follow the manufacturers instructions carefully when using pressure equipment. Do not exceed the tank manufacturers pressure recommendations. The service filling machine should be pressurized between 2.0 and 2.5 bar (29 - 36 PSI).
  3. Fill the bleeder tank with recommended fluid and purge air from the tank lines before bleeding.
  4. Do not pressure bleed without a proper master cylinder adapter. The wrong adapter can lead to leakage, or drawing air back into the system.
  5. Remove dust cap from bleeder valve and connect the transparent bleeder hose to bleeder valve.
    NOTE:

    Use a container to capture hydraulic fluid and a transparent bleeder hose to route fluid to the container.

    NOTE:

    The container must be at a lower level than the bleeder valve on the clutch slave cylinder.

  6. Place the other end of hose in the bleeder container to capture the used fluid. The end of the hose MUST be submerged in the DOT 3 brake fluid.
  7. Turn on the service filling machine.
    NOTE:

    While bleeding the system, do not allow the clutch fluid reservoir to completely empty out. If this happens, refill the clutch fluid reservoir, and repeat the procedure.

  8. Open the bleeder valve on the clutch slave cylinder enough to allow fluid to flow from the clutch hydraulic system.
  9. Allow fluid to flow out of bleed port until no more air bubbles can be seen in the transparent bleeder hose.
  10. Once fluid is free of air bubbles; make 15 quick actuations between clutch pedal stop positions.
  11. Close the bleeder valve at the clutch slave cylinder and disconnect the service filling machine.
  12. Check clutch pedal to see if vehicle is properly bled.
  13. If vehicle is not properly bled, repeat procedure.
  14. Remove bleeder cap from the clutch fluid reservoir and replace reservoir cap.
  15. Disconnect transparent bleeder hose from bleeder valve and replace dust cap.
