Me and my bro in law are installing my new clutch but when we try to bleed it it is leaking from the bottom where the bell housing meets the stupid spacer disk(?) we thinks its the throw out bearing because there is brake fluid in and around it. Any help?

 

My guess would be faulty tob

 

Did you pull off that bleeder manifold on top of the trans? Grab it and pull up and if it comes off that's your issue. Or if it doesn't and you took it off pull it off again and see if the seal is on the line or in the manifold it looks like a little top hat

 

How much fluid leaking are we talking about, a few drips or is it pouring out?

 

Try that and also, did you change the little pipe going from that manifold to the TOB? It's recommended to always change them because they tend to leak if you reinstall them

 

Is TFE (Thanked for Emphasis) a thing?

I also QFE'd

OP, it sounds like exactly what I went through and this^ was my problem. I was missing the seal.

 

Its a small drip every like 5 mins and if your talking about the clutch pipe with the bleeder screw that has the nipple on top that you said looks like a top hat yes we had that problem where that nipple was missing and we bought a whole new pipe from gm and that isnt leaking anymore. Im buying one of those inspection cameras thats fits and flexes into small holes to see exactly where the leak is coming from when we try to bleed the clutch thanks everyone

 

Ya that thanks button was just added I was hoping with the experience gone guys like Mr bill would post less

 

I got everything in and good its not leaking but i lost some tranny fluid while trying to fill it up i was searching online and apparently there are only two different types you can use the factory ac delco tranny fluid and redline but i was wondering if there is anything else and if there is a difference between tranny fluid and gear oil i also searched that up but couldnt find a good answer thanks

 

Yes those are the only 2 you should use for our car. I'm using redline myself

 

Dont use gear oil. It has special additives that dont agree with our transmission.

 

Red Line MTL is in my car. It shifts easier when the gearbox is cold in the winter.

 

The best thing for the car is the stock fluid. If it's an LSJ, you can change to the stock LNF fluid

 

Ok so we got everything connected and back together but the car wont start. i had my pcm tuned before we installed the clutch and it ran perfect i got my hahn intake so i decided to get a retune for my new intake and clutch, and it as you guys know i had trouble installing clutch it took a while like 2 weeks and the battery was disconnected the whole time we tried to jump start it and nothing and i remembered you have to do a security relearn procedure but the security light is coming on???
