Clutch Bleeding 300D 4 Spd Manual Swap

[charmalu]

I have a note book full of every manual transmission swap, shifter problem, vibration, transmission mount, cross member mount, Flywheel balancing, differential ratios, the good the bad and the ugly etc.....

I have evrything in, mounted, balanced, shortened, tightened and ready for launch.
Now I have read about bleeding the clutch from the bottom up to the reservor using the R/F brake caliper bleeder nipple, attaching a hose from it to the slave Cylinder bleeder nipple. then pumping the brake peddle to cycle the fluid and purge the air up into the reservor.

All my parts are new from Phill, All parts Express.

I used my motive power Brake bleeder and first flushed all brakes lines to make sure every thing is good and clean. don`t want to push dirty fluid in to the clutch system or the brake system for that matter. also while it was connected to the reservor went ahead and shot fluid through the clutch system and out the slave cyl.

I then connected a piece of clear tubing, opened the bleeders and pumped the brake peddle to reverse flush. I didn`t seem to be getting anywhere, and opened the slave bleeder hopping for gravity bleed, came in and made a pot of coffee.
went out later and nothing.

Today 4-10.
I picked up some 3/16 tubing thinking the 1/4 in I was using wasn`t fitting tight enough on the slave bleeder. why does it have to be smaller that the brake caliper bleeder?
I warmed up the end to get it slide onto the caliper, opened the bleeder to get the tube filled with fluid, the opened the slave and pushed the tube on.
got in the car and slowly started to pump the brake peddle. after about 6 or so pumps, WHOOOOSH the tube came off the caliper and sprayed fluid. HMMM cleaned up that mess. then tried it with the 1/4 in tubing, fits tight on the caliper, and will fit on the slave but not as tight as I would like. Iam then on my hands a knees reaching in and pushing the brake peddle and looking under the car. third pump, WHOOSH off the slave cyl.

I thought you ESS OH BEE, you`re getting flushed. reconnected the Motive, opened the slave cylinder and pumped the damd thing to 15LB PSI and had fluid blasting out. closed everything up, started car (have rear end up on stands) pushed in clutch, felt sort of firm. and put it in gear. can feel a slight grinding, push in clutch and still in gear. Iam at a loss here.

It seems I can get fluid from the top down, but not from the bottom up.
This is the first time I have had brake/clutch system kick my rear end like this.
