Clutch bleeding me dry
Hi all,
I just replaced my clutch master cylinder yesterday. (was leaking from the bottom) We bled that thing at least 3 different ways twice each, and I have great pedal pressure, but pressing the pedal has no effect.
The three ways we have tried to bleed:
1) traditional two man one at the pedal one at the slave bleeder, topping off the fluid. No result on pedal pressure
2) pushing fluid with a "suction gun" (can suck or push fluid) through the slave bleeder until fluid overflows from reservoir. Good pedal pressure.
3) passenger side brake bleeder to slave bleeder using the brake pedal to push. Still good pedal pressure.
It seems like at least one of those methods should work. After 8 solid hours of bleeding, and a veritable brake fluid bath, I am confounded that I have great clutch pedal pressure, but I can't shift into any gears. Is it possible I blew out my slave in the process? Or am I just missing something dreadfully obvious? Please help! Thanks in advance.
