i did the rebuilt kit on the master cylinder and put it all back together
the master seals and everything and theres no fluid leaking in or out of the car
but now i'm trying bleed my clutch lines and it seems like theres no pressure building in the lines at all, just air coming out of bleeder on the back of the slave and i've been pumping the pedal and opening and closing the bleeder for abuot 15 min. now
should i continue pumping and releasing?
is there somthing else wrong?
someone please help me!!!!

 

Getting the clutch started can be very annoying.

The way it's worked for me is to attach a vacuum bleeder to the slave nipple. Then use brake parts grease on the threads of the bleeder nipple so that I can draw down a solid vacuum. Be patient and fill the lines. Then once the vacuum bleeder has filled the lines with fluid, you'll have enough that you can finish bleeding with the pedal.

 

You could crack the slave bleeder and let it gravity bleed also. Although the mity vac is another good idea...

 

I have found that a Motive Pressure Bleeder is the best way to get the clutch. After working with a Mityvac and the standard way going through more than 2 L of fluid on the clutch alone it was nowhere near how I wanted it to feel. After 500ml from the Motive the clutch was PERFECT, simple and easy to use 40$ well spent.

 

You may want to check the rubber clutch line and rebuild the slave cylinder too.

 

Bleeding the clutch can be a pain sometimes. I almost didnt make it to a track day because I couldnt build up pressure in my clutch lines the night before. I got a MityVac to pull the fluid and after a few mins of pumping, the fluid started coming out and I had clutch pressure again. I thought I had a bad clutch master or slave cylinder since I was just flushing out the old fluid with new stuff and never ran the reservoir dry. I just lost pressure all of a sudden and couldnt build it back up by just pumping the pedal and opening/closing the bleeder. I need to invest in a Motive Pressure bleeder. Those make bleeding a breeze

 

I had a similar issue like this last year with my FD when I first bought it. I was leaking a LOT brake fluid from the clutch master cylinder. Replaced that, and everything was ok... for only a few days.

one day driving on the freeway, all of a sudden my clutch pedal sank to the floor. I bled all the air out again, and it STILL had air in the system when I was done.

Turned out to be a bad clutch slave cylinder. For me they both went bad at the same time. I would replace the slave cylinder. Aftermarket is usually cheaper

Did you rebuild the brake master cylinder or the clutch master cylinder?

 

if you dont bench bleed the master and gravity bleed into the slave it can take awhile
