Clutch Bleed Screw

Herb Hoover · 10-06-2018, 02:23 PM

So I seem to run into a bit of an issue. My clutch recently started feeling very unresponsive. First thought was possible CSC failure, but decided to bleed the line just in case it was just air. When rightening the bleed screw, the end broke off. I believe I found a replacement screw but I cant seem to get the broken one out. I have tried using a screw extractor and now that is stuck in the middle of the original broken screw and will not come out or remove the old screw. Any ideas?

Ok, with csc in the Z once it started to give u a problem of "unresponsive" you have to change the whole csc unit its done, in this situation you chould just replase the overweighted flywheel, crappy clutch n csc alltogether.

There are great csc clutch n flywheel combo kits out there online, but for about $1000 you can buy new or used from a forum members selling things here on the forum. Gl.

Sounds like you will be installing a new CSC of some type.

So when I purchased the car, some new no name brand clutch and lightweight flywheel were installed just prior. I believe it is an aftermarket OEM replacement. At this point, couldn't I just replace the CSC?
