Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
You may have to use a pressure or vacuum type of bleeder to get out the air in the system. Make sure that the master cylinder pedal is not adjusted too tightly. Also, ensure that the automatic adjuster is reset so that the pedal has a small amount of free travel. If you do not have any free travel then the clutch master cylinder will not let any fluid into the system. If you can’t get it to work, consider YourMechanic, as one of our mobile experts can come to you and bleed your clutch master cylinder for you.
How to Identify and Fix Common car Problems ?

If you are having trouble bleeding the rear brakes on your, it`s most likely due to a damaged proportioning valve. This valve manages and directs brake fluid to the rear brakes. When this valve goes bad, there will be little to no brake fluid being sent to the rear brakes.
50ml of brake fluid is enough to perform a bleed on one set of cycle brakes (front and rear). If the old brake fluid is particularly dirty or discoloured we recommend completely flushing out the old fluid and replacing with new.
Brake Booster Push Rod Length
Similar to the above scenario, the pin between the brake booster and the master cylinder can be too long. This will not allow the master cylinder to release completely. To correct this problem, it is necessary to determine the distance between the push rod and the piston.
This can be due to a number of problems: a leak in a brake line, a loss of pressure within the master cylinder itself due to a failed seal, or air being introduced into the braking system. Your first reaction to encountering spongy brakes should be to rapidly pump the brake pedal with your foot.
How Long Does It Take to Bleed Brakes? Overall, it will take you anywhere between 30 and 40 minutes to bleed the brakes of your car, that`s around 10 to 15 minutes on each wheel. You`ll need to ask someone to assist you in the process, as it`s their responsibility to press the brake pedal as you`re bleeding the brakes.
All you need is a short section of vacuum line and an empty water bottle. Fill the bottle with fresh brake fluid, submerge one end of the vacuum line in it, and connect its other end to the bleeder valve. Open the valve and pump the brake pedal a good 25 times to release any air bubbles.
The vehicle should not be running at any time during the bleeding process. If you are using a DIY system, these steps require a partner: With your partner in the driver`s seat, have them slowly pump the brake pedal two times and then hold the brake pedal to the floor.
The master cylinder is activated by pressing down on the brake pedal, which pushes a piston through the cylinder to force brake fluid through the brake lines. In other words, the master cylinder creates hydraulic pressure that pushes the brake fluid down to the brake components on each wheel.
In the Car: With the brake system bled, pump the brakes a few times and hold. The brake pedal should be firm. If the brake pedal is spongy, this could indicate air remaining in the lines or a mechanical problem, such as a sticking brake caliper slider.
Bleeding brakes by gravity
Then you can let gravity do the bleeding for you. This method works for nearly all modern cars, as long as the master cylinder is up high on the firewall, above the level of the wheels. All you have to do is fill up the master cylinder reservoir with fresh fluid.
The most common causes of your brakes not releasing is a seized caliper or brake pad. This typically occurs due to rusting or ageing. Typically, you will notice your vehicle pulling to one side when you press down on your brakes.
If it malfunctions, the cylinder will not distribute pressure properly, and the pedal will be affected. When you continue using your car will a bad cylinder, it will wear out and start leaking. The pedal will also feel spongy, mushy, and may sink far down when pressed.
If you need to replace or install a brake master cylinder, you`re going to have to “bench bleed” it before bolting the assembly to your firewall. That`s because, due to the angle at which the master cylinder sits when installed, bubbles can become trapped in an un-bled master cylinder`s fluid passages.
This is done as a safety measure to make sure your brakes will still work, even if one of the brake lines has a leak. The two brake lines move the brake fluid into cylinders on the brake calipers.
Here`s how you should bleed the brake: Ask your assistant to pump the brake pedal several times and then hold the pedal halfway to the floor. If pushed too far, it can drive the secondary piston of the master cylinder across sediments or deposits that can damage piston seals and cause leaks.

New cars don’t have transmission fluid dipsticks Transmission fluid changing
ANSWER : That’s a very good question. The reason they have gone with no dipsticks is because they don’t want people messing with transmissions other there at the dealership. Some cars went through that a couple of decades ago. They make it a very involved, convoluted process all through, in order to change the fluid on these modern cars. They have special adapters you have to put. Some of them have to have scan computers in order to read the data and what’s in there, and then be able to change it. A lot of these companies claim that this new fluid is the "lifetime" fluid.
Most new use synthetic fluid can last a long time but any fluid is going to get dirty and wear out over time. I would change it at least every 80,000 – 100,000 miles but if you’ve got one that is really hard to change, you are better off hiring a mechanic to do it.
On some of the cars, it would be too hard for the do-it-yourself because of all that equipment you need. The professional mechanics already have that. Just call any good mechanic, like one from YourMechanic, and they will be able to perform a transmission fluid service for you.

Can I use alternative Transmission fluid to the quotes recommended fluid if i’m bringing my own parts?
ANSWER : I would recommend buying the correct fluid. The reason is because I want to make sure your car is taken care of and is running as long as possible. You wouldn’t want to put something foreign in your car that it may not accept unless you’re willing to accept risks. Different fluids have different chemicals in it. It may cost more right now, but you won’t have to spend money buying a new transmission or having one rebuilt.

No brake fluid is getting to the rear brakes
ANSWER : As far as the brake issue, yes, there needs to be a check to see if there is brake fluid entering into the proportional valve. If there is fluid supply to the valve but not out then the valve will need to be replaced. Any electrical faults in the rear ABS system are generally indicated with a light illuminated and if so, then the flash codes can be read out. But with no light illuminated then there most likely no electrical failures in the system. If the source from where the brake fluid supply cannot be located, then you may want to enlist the help of a mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, to help with the diagnosis of your brake system.

Transmission fluid leaked while pulling a car out of mud
ANSWER : From the description you’re giving me, I’m not sure. I know many Fords, including my F150, have a circular seal type bell housing inspection cover near the transmission. Fluid pooled in this area generally indicates an engine oil leak from the rear main seal or a transmission leak from the front pump seal. The only way to know for sure is to have your truck’s transmission leak inspected firsthand by a professional. The team at YourMechanic is an excellent option since we make house calls.

Why would I keep getting air and fluid bleeding through the clutch system in my 2008 Infiniti G35
ANSWER : Hello. You more than likely have a bad clutch master cylinder. These will often have a seal failure on the back side of the cylinder which will either leak or suck in air. Both of these will cause this to occur. If there are not any leaks at the slave cylinder then the master cylinder needs to be replaced and bled. If you want to have this looked at, consider YourMechanic, as a certified mechanic can come to you to [determine what is causing the clutch to do this] https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/clutch-master-cylinder-replacement

Do I need to get the transfer case fluid and transmission fluid changed?
ANSWER : Hi, thanks for writing in. I looked at your maintenance schedule for your vehicle and found that for up to 150,000 miles, it only says to inspect the fluid level and not change it. The fluids are special fluids and if you did need any work done (i.e. if there is a leak present or other mechanical problem) then make sure the correct Ford certified fluid is used.
When it is time for you to have your transmission fluid serviced, consider having a certified automotive technician from YourMechanic come to your home or office to perform the service for you.
Hope this helps and best of luck!
