my hydraulics on my clutch went bad, so i couldnt change gears. i rebuilt the slave and replaced the seal, and i got a new master. but now, i cant get the clutch to work properly. ive gone through 2 quarts of fluid trying to get them pressurized. the pedal just hits the floor and stays down. what should i do? and how should i do it? to bleed it, ive been opening the valve, pressing the pedal, shutting the valve, lifting the pedal, and so on over and over. then i tried pushing the pedal, and opening and shutting the valve, then lifting the pedal, but that didnt help either. any ideas?

I'm guessing you bench bled the cylinder first?

i just changed mine on my TII yesterday. all we did was put it on then bleed it. i did have to pull the pedal off the floor a few times.

Assuming you still have the M/C in the car,crack the hydraulic fluid pipe at the M/C so that air/fluid will leak out,put a rag or something around it to stop the fluid going on your paint,pump it a couple of times to get all the air out of the M/C,tighten up the joint,then bleed at the slave bleeder.

Bench bleed the master cylinder first with some back pressure. Use your finger to create back pressure. pump the clutch 5-10 times... hold down, open valve ... do that till you get some pressure built up, then do it one pump at a time. Hold clutch down open valve... close valve, release clutch.

Gotta have back pressure to start it all though.

wait, what do i put my finger over? do i put the cap on when im bleedin the system?

um hook the fluid pipe/hose athe the closest spot to the M/C plug that with you finger off and on to bleed the M/C and create back pressure.
