2016 clutch bleed.

Ya, my 2000 Tacoma had a slight clunk as well, but this is different....
Almost like play in the clutch that is causing it... but, perhaps I just suck at shifting.
This truck shift differently then any manual I have ever driven...

I am going to bleed the line any way, just as a feel good measure and check the drive line as mentioned as well....

 

Pedal pivot I am unfamiliar with.
Master cylinder, I assume a bad seal or something??
Down under I assume you mean in the transition it self? What could possible be bad there? Shift fork, throw out bearing, etc...

How could I diagnose these?

 

Our pedal is glass reinforced nylon. So, the pivot on the pedal could get notchy from wear.

The master cylinder could get worn where it gets a lip inside.


Yeah. I was thinking about the shift fork pivot or other not so accessible parts in that area.


If you can feel it sitting still, then you can get another person to pump the clutch while you listen in various spots. If you don't have someone else, you can use your phone or a GoPro to help. Tbe starting point is determining if it is in the cap or underneath.

 

There's a pivot point that could be the source...



But I'd be more suspect of the spring. Usually it squeaks, but if your bushing is really bad, maybe it would clunk.



This assumes that the noise sounds like it's coming from your footwell, rather than from under the truck.

 

Hm no clunking here whatsoever, except for when I screw up or shifting in 4low.

 

Shifting too fast in 4lo is a very different noise. That’s steel parts grinding against each other like when you mistime your clutch and shift. The clanking noise I am referring to sounds more like steel parts clanking together in a cave.

 

I see.

I know it makes noise when driving over bumps in N or clutch in, otherwise there is no clanking noise at all. It’s actually very smooth.

 

Ok, I bleed the clutch very well, about a full reservoir worth.

I also checked the tranny fluid. When I removed the fill bolt, a fair about of fluid drained out. I know some is, but is it possible to over fill it?

Took it for a quick drive around the neighborhood..... It felt smoother.. but time will tell...

 

Good stuff.


If the truck was warm, a good bit can come out due to all the air that was mixed in and the heat expanding it.

Don't worry though. I believe 5mm under the fill hole is the min amount.

 

Thank you for all your advice.

Hope this makes it better.

I did notice what appeared to me slight bubbles when bleeding.... Not sure if they were or just turbulent flow of the fluid...

 

You're welcome!


They were likely in there. A little bit of air can make a big difference.

 

One thing I noticed when under there, was the threads on the kit for the acculmator delete, where seemingly excessive... Meaning there were what appeared to be a lot of exposed threads.

I remember tightening it all up as much as it would go.

What amount of threads being exposed is okay?

I should.have taken a picture but it was late and I have to work early. I'll try and get a pic today when it's cool enough to work under the truck.

Could air be getting in through the delete kit?

 

It sounds like you got the formed hose from trident? If so, the fitting at the slave does have a lot of threads. There are pics in the 1st Post. That said, there is no spiral leak path because the seal is formed by the face of the flare on the tube against a brass insert in the slave cylinder. Do not over tighten flare fittings. Hand tight is plenty.
