Brand new slave, and it did this before with the old slave as well. Bleeder is clean. I've taken it off and blown through it and fluid comes out of it bleeding top down.

pedal feels soft

I had an indy change the clutch MC in the 82 240D. Now it feels much softer then before and it seems to engage in the last 1/3 of clutch pedal.

Is there still some air left that he could not bleed out ?

He was done in one hour. Did not remove the seat or the pedals assambly, just the floor covering all the down to metal.

I had problems with my MC and slave clutch cylinders. I tried the FSM technique, but it didn't work very well for me. I tired other bleeding methods from pressure to vacuum and both, also traditional method. I read one of the other threads on this. There was metion of the eccentric. I took out the rod (it had the black one, the longer one). I marked the eccentric white and black on the hex head for largest and smallest, or in out. Then I noticed that I couldn't get the rod back in. I searched for the other rod, as the Lucas MC comes with two. Mine is an '81 240D. I couldn't find it. I still had the old MC and looked at it rod. It was a bit different. I cut the old rod to a length I thought would work. Then I rounded the end. The clutch did work.
Before this, I tired something different. I had the slave on and its fitting attached. I took the slave off, with the fitting still attached. I bleed it by pushing in the slave's plunger and opening the bleeder screw. After a while it seemed to work. The slave was next to immposible to get in there. Then I raised the passenger side of the car about 1 foot. I put wood blocks underneathe and still kept the hydriulic jack in place.
