I got the new slave cylinder, new master cylinder and its all bolted up. I filled the master cylinder up to the MAX, and when i push the clutch in, it sits on the floor. Its still being utilized using the pedal spring. i pumped it numerous times, but no fliud is going into the line (out of the master cylinder. Tell me what i need ta do..thanks

do you have someone there to open and close the bleed valve?

you probably needed to bench bleed the M/C before it went in..

but just keep pumping. it might take a while. you gota pull the pedal back up with your hand. that is normal.

how do you bench bleed?

darkwaveboi

well got it in..heres what i did...

1. have flex line screwed into slave cylinder, but open on the other end.

2. loosen the bleeder valve.

3. fill hose with brake fluid till it comes out of bleed valve.

4. put everything back together.

5. fill master cylinder with fluid.

alrite now heres how i filled it up.

with the clutch pedal OUT. unscrew the bleed valve and LEAVE OPEN.

PUSH CLUTCH IN (it should stay on floor from spring loading). TIGHTEN bleed valve. Pull clutch pedal up. This creates a vacuum which draws in the new clutch fluid. you should repeat this procedure till the clutch pedal starts to rebound on its own. Once it comes back up completely on its own, bleed like normal.

ok man here's the easy way to do this i've done it before took about 5 minutes. fill up the master cylinder, then open the bleed valve and attach about 1 foot length of vacuum hose or any other hose that fits the valve. then take the other end of the hose and stick it down in a bottle or something with a little clean clutch fluid in it, enough fluid so that the hose stays submerged during the entire process. now just pump the hell out of the clutch pedal, remember it will take a while before it starts passing fluid through the bleeder valve because of all the air in the system. make sure to keep an eye on the resevoir, don't pump the clutch till it's dry then fill it up, make sure there's at least 1/3 of the fluid in the resevoir the whole time. once you start seeing the fluid level go down it shouldn't take many more pumps of the pedal to completely bleen the system. after you think it's bled well enough close the bleeder valve just make sure the hose stays attached to the valve and that it's still submerged in the clutch fluid until the valve is fully closed. hope this helps.

Get the mighty-vac kit with the brake bleeder.
I think they are about $20 & are handy for all kinds of vac & pressure testing.
