Default Another bleed thread advice please.

So after countless hours of bleeding the good old fashion way, to no avail. I decided to pick up a mity vac. Hooked everything up pulled 10hg of vacuum. And 800 pumps later still getting air bubbles. Also noticed the outside of the rubber boot on the master was a little wet. So this indicates to me bad master? Is the 01-02 master with less than 1000 miles on it. I bought the whole setup for my m6 swap. Angle of the master is perfect I just cant get the clutch to fully disengaged, hard to get into first and reverse. Also if i rev with the clutch pedal depressed and in first car will move forward. At a lose.

A couple of years ago I put a Mity-Vac on and let it sit. Kept getting bubbles out if it so I thought the master must have been bad. I put a new master in and the problem was solved. The new master was however, bench bled. I wouldn't think that your master would go bad that soon but who knows...

Edit: If you continue to drive with the clutch dragging, you will do damage to the trans...

You're getting air from somewhere, you can't bleed it out if it's still getting in. If it's from the master or not isn't for me to say, but follow the fluid that's appearing and you'll have your answer.

Yeah the fluid is coming out of the rubber boot on the back of the master.

Mine does the same exact thing. I have been bleeding for almost 2 months with no progress and i'm on my 2nd master and slave...thinking both were bad. I'm leaning towards an adjustable master or to purchase the pre-bleed GM one.

If you found your issue, please post up because i'm lost.

You should be pulling 15 to 20 hg of vacuum, not 10.

Apply the vcuum, pump the pedeal 10 times slowly then let it sit until no more bubbles appear.. Have you replaced the fluid BTW?
