fluid clutches

have got to be the worse idea EVER. i hate them, slave cylinders arent that cheap for my budget, and they are a pain to bleed IMO and they **** me off

Mine is internal, and it,s no trouble to bleed just open res on M/C fill it up then loosen bleed screw and keep pouring fluid in until bubbles stop coming out. PITA to change though!

i parked it because i was going to the jessamine jamboree. (nicholasville KY) and i pushed the clutch in to start it and the slave cylinder its self broke into 2 pieces. im just glad it waited to break while i was parked. because i would have been stuck in downtown nich. with all of the venders and i wouldnt have been able to move it. it sucks, cause now i have to put one in it tomorrow.

Get the best you can afford and watch the color of the disconnect fittings. They are color coded. It's no big deal if you can't get your color, just take the one off your old cyl. and change the "O"ring from the new one.
