#2.bleeding the clutch, HELP!!! URGENT!! - from Michael Turgeon

Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2000 05:52:55 -0700 (PDT) From: Michael Turgeon <turgeon1@yahoo.com> Subject: <e36m3> bleeding the clutch, HELP!!! URGENT!! Gruppe: I was trying to get ready for a school this weekend and was going about flushing/bleeding the brake system. Everything was going great with Steve D's adapter. When I got to the clutch the trouble began! I opened the clutch bleeder valve and a huge rush of fluid and air exited the tube. The clutch pedal would go to the floor and not return. BIG TROUBLE!!! Obviously the transmission would also not go into gear. WTF happened???? The reservoir never went below the minimum fill line! Did air get introduced into the entire system such that I should now rebleed all of the calipers again??? Did I open the clutch bleed nipple too much, later remembering that the bleed nipple is at the bottom and not the top??? I got the car moving again by again trying to bleed the clutch system by just slightly opening the bleeder nipple so that only an occasional drop of fluid would come out and let me pressure bleeder do the job for about 20-30 minutes. As an aside, less than 4oz. total came out. QUESTIONS: 1. Do I need to rebleed the entire system? 2. The clutch seems to pick up closer to the floor, is this bad? (I thought that when a clutch was going the pick up point moved up?) 3. There may be a clunk, not sure because only drove for about 2 minutes to make sure that it could go to a shop if necessary, any ideas what this might be? 4. Anyone have a similar experience that can tell me everything is OK? TIA Mike Turgeon BMW CCA #166866 95 M3 Avus PS The Pagid street pads I got from Steve D fit amazingly well compared to the Porterfield one-size-fits-all R4S which must be custom fit to the caliper, ask me how I know! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Suzy, I apologize for advertising a group buy on your list. Hope you understand that I really really really really really want a set of Kinesis at less than *an arm and a leg* and there isn't enough people yet who have committed... A friend of mine is hosting a group buy - he runs a shop down in SC. His GB prices for the Kinesis wheels are incredible. 1. Go to www.kinesismotorsport.com and pick a style you like 2. Email Dave (my friend) at fast4dr@aol.com and tell him what wheel(s) you're interested in. Dave will provide you with Kinesis's selling price, and then his price. I'm doing this as a favor to him. What's in it for me? Well, if enough people get on this GB, I get my wheels for less than what Kinesis would charge me as well! Thanks. Sorry again Suzy.

Look in the tech section. I followed that with one exception - I didn't need to unbolt (and remove) the rear shocks to install the shock mounts. I was able to compress the shock by hand enough to put the shock mount on top. For reference, they're stock shocks with ~50k miles on them. Andrej '97 M3
