So my clutch pedal had stuck to the floor a few times. Reading around, master cylinder or salve cylander seemed to be an easy culprit. I rebuilt both today, installed a stainless steel and a speed bleers. Now, I have NO clutch pressure. I pretty much have the speed bleeder all the way unscreewed and I am not getting anyhting out. The reservior is fulle (front and back). I even unhooked the solid line from the master cylinder and got a some fluid to squirt out. I checked all the connections and don't have any fluid around thim. Is there something I could be missing?

I would rather know before I have to order in a new slave and master and still have problems.

Thanks,

Dan

 

if you can pull vacuum at the slave you can suck the fluid into the system. this is how i do it. that way it gets all the air out at the same time. sorry man, hydraulic clutches are known for being a pain to bleed. or you could try leaving the cap off the res and leaving the bottlem bleeder loose, you know the gravity method.

 

Gravity did it, so I have fluid now and a pressure response. I chucked the speed bleeder because it wouldn't close. Opposite problem now. Looks like the clutch is stuck pressed in (can pull in and out of any gear). I am guessing the slave is hosed.

 

Rebuilding hydraulics is often just pissing in the wind. Buy new and save the headaches. Also be sure you didn't mess with the adjustment of the master.

 

Start with the easiest thing first, remove the speedbleeder from the clutch system and see if you build pressure.

 

Exactly. I've never had good luck rebuilding hydraulic parts. I think to really do it right you have to hone the bore and all this jazz or you're just back at square one. New parts aren't too pricey, just buy new.
