This is awesome to hear. I always like to think of KZfaq like a community that is there to share helpful ideas, personal stories and interests. It's all about adding value ro someone's life in small ways, thankful this video served some purpose and appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!

Sorry for your loss..

Not everyone is meant to have a car...

Thanks for the feedback and tip! Always like to hear from folks with experience. I'm definitely going to use the nuts as ballast to give bottle stability. Save some hydraulic fluid on future bleed jobs

Appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to share feedback! This was one of my first videos, it's a bit rough around the edges but glad it's still helpful and clear. Also, all praise goes to my family for raising me up right

The sad part of this video is that he is throwing brake fluid to the nature. Always recycle your trash while working on car, please.

@@flowmotions109 there's always someone to point out the negative

@@bruhh8908 nah he lowkey a pos for that. Little things like that matter bro imagine if everyone just dumped all their fluids onto the street like that when working on vehicles. You probably don’t use the brain God gave you to think about things thoroughly enough though.

@@praisethelord8750 dot 3 brake fluid is 98% glycol ether, usually the Methoxyethanol variety. it is biologically active and degraded into co2 and water by most air breathing bacteria. it also soaks into the road which before they called it asphalt they called it oil-tar because thats what it is, billions of gallons of heavy chain crude oil are mixed with rock and heated up every year to maintain roads, and they are then just dumped by the cubic yard onto the road. but no one looses their mind about the ecological impact of roads (because there basically is none if done responsibly). you should be more mad about local gov switching to cheap sodium chloride as deicer instead of more expensive calcium chloride because it rusts the bottom off of cars (causing an eco impact for needing to make new cars) and also causes more freeze-thaw cycles causing potholes and road degradation requiring more oil-tar to be manufactured and poured onto the ground. airports go through thousands of gallons of deicer each year which is usually a mix of the same thing as dot3 brake fluid, but no one goes on youtube and has an aneurysm in the comment sections. yeah maybe he should put a drip pan down or a towel, but then what? where in the world do you take a couple ounces of brake fluid to be recycled? you dont, you just throw it away. atleast the road will be recycled one day and the glycol ether will probably get cross linked into the next oil-tar mixture and become a parking lot. but thanks for your concern

That was the goal! I've watched many car repair videos on KZfaq...some good ...some way too long haha. I'm trying to be one of the more informative ones. Thanks for the feedback!

Haha thanks for the compliment and feedback! You nailed it, I try to take what irks me with other how to videos and show what I'd like to see. I'm a work in progress, but always trying to improve and show useful info

That's' why he missed the most important 2 key points? Monkey see, monkey do

Thanks for the feedback and info on collecting fluid! Since this video I've gone and made sure to properly collect drained fluid going forward. I like newspaper idea as it's a fast cleanup

Couple drops???? He dumped the whole system on the ground.

I'm glad the video was helpful and that you enjoyed the background music. Calmer music always helps me when tackling any type of fix, it can be stressful haha

Glad the video helped! Definitely useful for many generations of vehicles

Appreciate the solid feedback and good luck with the fix going forward. Know it will work out well!

Haha awesome man! I agree YT is best used to get quick advice and help with all kinds of topics. Thanks for feedback, really appreciate it!

@@EngineeredMojo No worries, man. And of course, subscribed. Keep 'em coming.

Haha same here. KZfaq will always have a video showing a tip I didn't know about or a small quirk to avoid

I like the video but wat I disliked the fact that the fluid drops to the grown...

@@mateoramirez8592 ground*

Awesome, I'm glad the video was helpful. I also have a video on bench bleeding the master cylinder if needed. Good luck with the installation, and I appreciate you taking the time to comment!

Thanks for the feedback on the video and music appreciation, haha!

Glad to hear you thought the video was informative and direct! I try to develop these videos to show what I like to see in videos haha. Thanks for taking the time to share feedback and good luck with your fix

Ya I actually never leave comments or reviews. But this videos spot on and i felt compelled. I think a lot of these younger ppl try to hard to be a character or make sideshow out of their videos. But in a pinch short on time you really just need good straight forward information easy for anybody to understand. I'm sure the likes and shares help you a little bit. Well you helped me a lot. I've even recommended you're videos to a few buddies of mine. Hopefully that'll get you some more like and such. And I appreciate you replying on the comment. Not many have integrity like this now adays. I look forward to more of you videos next time I need to fix my car. 👍👍

@@jakerich9115 any like or comment helps, but especially the comment so I know what actually is right...or wrong haha. I feel the same about some youtubers putting on an extra show. It works for some, but I know I'd get annoyed with myself eventually given I watch some many tutorials and know what I personally like. Thanks again for the comment and for sharing the video to others, really appreciate it. Wherever you are in the US or world, hope your end of year is going well 😀

I appreciate that you appreciate the classics!

Agreed, very relaxing

That's for all you cultured gearheads. When you get done, you can take a nappy while serenaded by Brahm's lullaby.

Thankfully you got the part warranty and were able to narrow it down. Always a nice feeling to solve a car issue. Glad the video was helpful in the process and thanks for leaving the feedback!

Oh yea, it's hard to due a self bleed without a clear snug fitting line. No good way to tell if airbis being pushed out of the cylinder. Hopefully the video was helpful enough and gets you on the right track! Appreciate the feedback and background of your story :)

Ohh man good catch haha, worked on too many car issues that day. Glad to see people actually watched till the end. Rarely know if those end wrap ups are helpful. Thanks again and thanks for the feedback!

@@EngineeredMojo lol I just caught that and immediately looked in the comments 😂😂

@@ELMOS_WURLD KZfaq viewers wil set you straight always haha

@@EngineeredMojo haha you're not wrong there , thanks for the video I have to change my clutch slave cylinder tomorrow on my 00 integra gsr

Definitely helps me calm down and relax when working through a stressful car fix! Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback

Glad it was an informative video for you, appreciate you taking the time to comment with feedback!

BRIC-A-BRAC DIY glad it helped and thanks for the feedback! Always feels good to self accomplish a car repair I think!

tyrone davidson that's great man. Glad it helped and appreciate the feedback!

Glad the video helped with your car fix and appreciate the time for the comment and update on your car fix :)

J Yack haha I appreciate when someone appreciates the music choice, thanks for the feedback as well!

Thanks, glad the video proved helpful! Appreciate the compliment on the voice as well; I like to hope I have one of the less annoying sounding voices in KZfaq land

That's awesome to hear, glad the video was helpful! Also thanks for taking the time to comment and leave your thoughts on the video

Thanks for the kind words and appreciate the feedback. It's definitely a straightforward DIY project that you can do no problem I'm sure. Good luck and if you remember let me know how it went! And also thanks for being understanding of my music choice Haha. I was trying to go for a calming effect since working on cars can be stressful

So glad the video was helpful and good luck with your install! Should be no problem with enough time and some patience with accessing bolts

Glad the video proved valuable to you and appreciate the feedback. After watching a good amount of car maintenance tutorials on youtube I realized many times I had no clue what type of tools people were using, figured I'd make it a bit easier

@@EngineeredMojo Keep up the good work! Blessings on your 2020...

@@Mommy5sons same to you, hope your year has started well

That's great news. Its always tricky bleeding the line. Air can get through the smallest holes and enough of it will cause a squishy pedal which is annoying. Thanks for taking the time to let me know how it went!

No problem, hope you got good value from the video and thanks for taking the time to comment

Glad the video can be of use and you liked the video style!

Glad to be of service 😌

ahh smart just using water! save some of the brake fluid. Thanks for sharing on the channel, will definitely use your tip

I'd advice you to watch the video closer again, no fluid is being sucked from the bottle. It's only there to catch discarded fluid and be able to dispose of old fluid properly. It's a tried and true process if done correctly. Give it a try :)

oh really? ok. yes, im gonna change my slave cylinder today or tomorrow. i agree that it will catch the old stuff from the line, but im still unclear why you poured good brake fluid into the water bottle before catching the old stuff?

@@justjonzing3636 Good question, I put the new liquid in the bottle for two reasons, 1. to provide weight in the bottle so when old liquid is pumped in it doesn't want to tip, I've had that happen :/ and 2. when I crack the bleed screw a rush of air won't enter the slave cylinder since the line will be fully submerged on the exit side causing a pressure equilibrium. Think of a straw scenario when you hold one end the liquid suspends. It just allows the air bubbles to bleed out faster and reduces less outside air from coming in.

Robby Bobby that's great man glad it worked out well for you! And thanks for letting me know

Appreciate the solid feedback on the video, thanks! I stop the bleed process once I see a full tube line with no bubbles. Also, yes, with using a bottle, there is no need to keep opening and closing the bleeder screw. The fluid inside the bottle makes sure no suction of air occurs back into your line. Hope that helps!

Joshua Deleon haha thanks!

Awesome to hear. Glad to know the video was simple to follow and good luck with the install! Should go smooth

Don Martin using a container is a good idea!

Don, thank you. I really like and appreciate how you address the dripping issue - simple, sweet and to the point without any screaming, cursing and accusation (like few others did). Thank you again for your kind words. No I have no hidden interests with this video and/or Engineered Mojo. I was ticked how these people acted in response to a very good DIY video.

Awesome tip on the caps to avoid spills!

I appreciate the video feedback, thanks!

Haha appreciate the music appreciation

Really simple process, just takes some time for setup and bleeding but not long. Good luck with the fix!

Appreciate the video feedback! Glad the video was informative and clear

@@EngineeredMojo very! also one quick question, im about to do this on friday, do i need that flare wrench you were talking about and using or can i just use a regular wrench?

@@calumwilson1120 you can use a regular wrench, but there is a higher chance you'll strip the nut on the hydraulic line. I'd probably use a pair of channel lock pliers before a wrench

@@EngineeredMojo i see? do you know why regular wrenches cause it to strip easier? sorry for the questions, just like to know this stuff for future reference

@@calumwilson1120 no problem at all, it's because a regular wrench only grabs a nut by two sides. Unless you have a high quality wrench, there will be a bit of slippage while attempting to loosen the nut on the hydraulic line. All it takes is one slip too far and the nut is damaged. A flare nut will wrap around almost all the way, creating a snug fit and allowing you to apply additional removal torque with less chance to slip and strip.

Engineered Mojo thank you so much! You saved my ass.

Engineered Mojo like and subscribed.

Were working on a 2006 honda accord slave cylinder and were having a hard getting the car to stay in gear

Need some assistance were working On a 2006 honda accord slave cylinder ,and it's not staying any suggestions on,what could be wrong. Or what were missing

@@matthewkose3138 is it popping out of a particular gear or pops out of every gear?

@EffordTembo thank you thank you, appreciate the feedback on the video

LOL, you are right music is hella sad

Trippin thats Moonlight Sonata, and its fucking amazing and beautiful, maybe your ear drums just havent matured yet😁

@@aarontapatio2257 Great music but not for a soundtrack to repairing my car unless I'm getting it ready to drive to it's final resting place in the auto wrecker, lol.

The Moonlight Sonata is bit for funerals. It's for Dracula movies....

Screww Googlle awesome! Thanks for the feedback

No problem and nice car pickup!! Civic EGs (1992-95) are great car models and have tons of aftermarket support for replacement parts to make it easier on the car owners pockets.

No problem, glad video could be of benefit and thanks for taking the time to leave feedback!

Haha in retrospect I've come to agree my music choice for this video could have been more upbeat. Glad you found video useful and thanks for taking the time to comment!

No problem, hope it was helpful!

glad it helped!

haha I appreciate the appreciation of the background music. I try to play music that will be calming since working on a car can be stressful! Unfortunately I do not have a video yet on that type of slave cylinder bleed procedure. I will add to my list since it has come up a few times, thanks for drawing my attention to the need for that type of video

Glad it was helpful!

Jeraiah Lewis I've heard that before, I think I need to explore that career option haha. Thanks for commenting and the feedback!

Thanks! Hope video was useful for you

It was a sad day for me fixing my slave cylinder

Glad it was and thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!

Glad it was helpful and thanks for sharing feedback!

You having some car issues still? Is your pedal still soft?

I don't but I have replaced one before. I ended up going with a stainless flex line in lieu of the hardline for ease of install

Appreciate the feedback on the video and music! When you say no grab, does no car not shift into gear at all or it does but with a bit of effort? It sounds to be as if your friction plate is worn out from first though

@@EngineeredMojo you are welcome. The car shifts into gear smoothly with no resistance; the clutch pedal is neither high nor low; actually feels like a new clutch. However, releasing the clutch pedal has no reaction that is the car does not creep forward when in 1st gear or backward when shifted in reverse. Lastly, i was curious and jacked up the rear wheel to see what happens when I shift forward or backward. Result: the rear wheel move when i do so; giving some gas increase the speed of the wheels but not as fast as it should. I am suspecting a driveshaft issue at the transmission. Some type of wear or something. Car has been highly abused by the previous owner.

Thanks for taking the time to comment and provide feedback. Glad the video was helpful!

Good tip on the hose clamp addition! Hopefully the bleed process goes smoother with the help from a friend

Pretty much, the ball end seats right on the dimple on the fork. Hope that helps!

Haha good reminder, I sure did slop that up afterward. Brake fluid is nasty stuff

Haha, I like to listen to calming music while doing car repairs. Figured people wouldn't mind similar music while learning about a repair. You are spot on, the slave cylinder sits in the boot and the boot is just a protective cover. you can remove the boot ( it has grooves that wedge inside the transmission housing) or you can leave it on while replacing the slave cylinder. Typically I'll take it off just so I can maneuver it around the slave (better views of how the cylinder is mounting) while I'm installing then I'll pop the grooves back into the transmission housing once I get slave cylinder mount bolts in place.

Perfect, glad it was helpful. Thanks for taking the time and leaving a comment and feedback on video!

It's just a knob that pushes the shift fork arm, there is a bowl indentation on the shift fork inside the boot. That's my best guess, hope that helps!

@@EngineeredMojo Thanks I watched another video which then I understood the concept. It's a essentially a piston that get pushed with the pressure on the line and it's pushed it outwards which then pushes the indentation on the clutch fork. Thanks for your reply ✌️

Eddie Sirlo that's great, yea its definitely a simple process once you have the steps. Glad it worked out!

No problem! Hope it was an useful video

Oh yea definitely caught that mistake, good tip and for sure it helps the environment. I'd add to properly dispose of fluid as well at a local auto parts store! :)

Doesn't hurt to add a bit of brake grease on the end

Awesome, glad the video was helpful. Thanks for leaving feedback!

Oh yes the boot has a small lip on it that sits inside the transmission. You just make sure the boot lip sits past the transmission casing. Small resistance only

Yea there will be a little bit of pressure, but once you get one bolt line up an started you can just rotate the cylinder to line up the other bolt. There will be pressure, but can maneuver cylinder with one hand for sure. To me it felt like a firm balloon when you press on it

@@EngineeredMojo ok, did you do this from under the car?

@@jondoe9708 yes, for me it was easier to see the bolt hole lined up from under the vehicle. Once one is lined up, I hopped above to finish installing the other bolt. It could be done from above I'm sure if you can get a good sight angle on the bolt holes.

@@EngineeredMojo I got it, thanks man!

Ahh dang maybe bad luck on part quality. I know aftermarket slave cylinders are notorious for leaking, but usually OEM is solid quality

Appreciate the feedback!

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback! Hope video proved useful

Glad the video was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to comment

Glad the video was helpful for you and thanks for providing feedback!

Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Thanks for the feedback! And yes I was loosing fluid at the slave cylinder near the pushrod. I've also, different time, had it where I was losing fluid at the master cylinder at the firewall. I couldn't see the fluid being lost at the slave cylinder, but I could at the master cylinder given the small stream trickling down the firewall. Your problem sounds like a random air bubbleb is getting intermittently caught in the line. I'd try to bleed your system if you think your slave cylinder and master cylinder are okay

@@EngineeredMojo I did flush the clutch and the fluid was like mud. Now I got fresh fluid and the problem still there. I heard someone saying that the seal inside sleeve cylinder may be damage because of the bad fluid it has before. I will change it this weekend and I will update :)

@@Imposter407 ahh makes sense, good luck and yea provide an update if you can! Good info I can add to my mental toolbox haha

Welcome! Hope it was helpful

Mark Dwayne Madsen man that's good advice, I'm always trying to reduce fluid loss to reduce air intrusion in the lines and just create less mess. I'll be using that technique for sure next go around; thanks!

No problem! Hope the video was helpful 😀

No problem glad the video was helpful

Appreciate the concern! Yes much better nowadays, but I am constantly stretching and keeping my spinal mobility as non stiff as possible. Do you do any particular stretches?

@@EngineeredMojo tbh I was wondering why you were wearing a backpack the whole time. this makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the video and hope you heal quickly!

@@IanMahaffey haha thanks for the concern. I am doing much better now. Also thanks for the video feedback!

Thanks for the support and feedback!

Great, glad the video was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback

I'd check your slave cylinder to see if there are any visible leaks. Typically its noticeable. If nothing noticeable, I'd rebleed the system to purge potential air and see if that helps. Itll be noticeable if you slave cylinder is faulty as your car wont engage gears even after a proper bleed. Hope that helps!

Has the cousin said what he was greasing?

@@EngineeredMojo when returning truck supposedly he said it needs grease so he got my grease gun went under the truck and I seen he was trying to grease the slay cylinder next to the transmission

I did not, mounted it empty and bleed the system to pressurize and fill the slave cylinder. Good question
