Well after all day of working in the wet and cold in my driveway we finally got a new slave cylinder in my car...
Well we get everything back together and bleed the system but it feels like there is no clutch there. We bled the system probably 3 times and the clutch pedal still never tightens up.
What can we do?

Check the connection at the slave cylinder ( they can be a bitch sometimes ) and make sure the bleeder valve is fully closed if you haven't already done that. Sometimes it takes a little while to bleed these systems the old fashioned way. I think we had to do mine about 5 or 6 times before it got to where it felt good. Goodluck fixing it.

Ya not a whole lot of fluid was bleeding thru so im guessing theres lots of air in the system and its taking a while to fill up the new slave.
Im hoping the issue is as simple as bleeding it.

The quick disconnect line that hooks into the slave cylinder was a bitch to get off the old slave but we finally got it off

Just make sure while your bleeding it you keep the reservoir full cause mine would suck it out pretty fast.

Thats whats weird, its really not sucking that much thru the reservoir. Only a little bit of fluid is coming out when we bleed it.
