Car Forum / Jaguar Cars / August 2007Clutch problem e-type
Hello I have i ser.1 E-type which get air in the hydraulic system. I cant find any leeks, after i bleeding it i get a normal pedal and its working ok. But suddenly i loose the pedal and and the clutch. When i bleed it again its ok a little time. Where can the problem be? i think its strange that i dont have any leeks but still get air in the system. It doesnt have to leak out, allthough if it needs topping up it is. Just means its sucking air in, which may indicate a faulty clutch servo, sometimes cured with a repair kit I assume its only clutch thats affected. > Hello > I have i ser.1 E-type which get air in the hydraulic system.

The clutch do not have servo, do you mean master or slave cylinder? > It doesnt have to leak out, allthough if it needs topping up it is. > Just means its sucking air in, which may indicate a faulty clutch servo, [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > but >> still get air in the system. Yes sorry my typo Clutch Slave cylinder Master cylinder is for brakes > The clutch do not have servo, do you mean master or slave cylinder? > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > but > >> still get air in the system. old man <dl@spoofmail.notme> wrote in article <2iZ0i.13307$d9.3087@newsfe6-gui.ntli.net>... > Yes sorry my typo > Clutch Slave cylinder > > Master cylinder is for brakes The term "Master Cylinder" is equally correct when used in conjunction with hydraulic brakes and hydraulic clutches. Each system uses a "Master" and "Slave' cylinders. In the brakes we call the slaves "wheel cylinders" and "calipers". That depends on your version of English > old man <dl@spoofmail.notme> wrote in article > <2iZ0i.13307$d9.3087@newsfe6-gui.ntli.net>...

Have you made recent changes to the brake system? In other words, what caused you to begin bleeding the system? Can't help directly, but check this Jag website: http://tinyurl.com/26c5dm One poster says a common cause of sucking air is that the end seal was put in backwards during a master cylinder rebuild. Another thing recommended there is that you only pump the brake pedal halfway down when bleeding, or use a vacuum pump or pressure bleeder. A common problem with Corvette disk brakes is that a warped rotor can cause a brake cylinder piston to pump air into the system, so it IS possible to inject air without having fluid leaks. Woops, just noticed (DUH!) that your post is primarily concerning the clutch, not the brake system. Here are some different posts that might be of some help: http://tinyurl.com/3575ua http://tinyurl.com/3d49vx > Hello > I have i ser.1 E-type which get air in the hydraulic system.
