So i just finished up the drill mod tonight and i have zero pressure in my clutch pedal. it either stays in the up position or when depressed, it stays down. I think i just need to bleed to the system now but i feel like there is no way i can access the bleeder screw. no tools i have will fit in that tiny spot and i cant fit my hands in there to reach it. Will bleeding put pressure back in my clutch? and if so, what do i need to access the bleeder screw? thanks

Yes you will need to bleed the system because you introduced air into the system. Here is something from the sticky's. Check out number 2 and 3. https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-tr...ere-first.html

you probably don't need a new master cylinder. a couple weeks ago when i was bleeding my clutch the pedal had no pressure, so what i did was i started pumping it in between having the valve cracked open and it started building pressure a lot quicker.

if you have a friend helping you with pressing the pedal its not too hard.

yea we tried everything all day today and couldnt get any pressure at all.. plus i just had my whole system cleaned and professionally bled 2 weeks ago.. after one week, that brand new fluid turned black. So im blaming that on my master. My clutch has been sticking so i need to replace it anyway. Are the advance auto part master cylinders okay? or should i order a gm one? i cant spend 300 on an adjustable

i replaced the master with a 120 dollar one from bennett auto supply. Just finished installing it. The clutch feels 1000x better. No more spongy feeling and no more sticking!! Although it took a long *** time to bleed.. about 2 hours to be exact... but at least everythings fixed now.

Two hours!!!!!! Dad and I did mine I think in less then ten minutes.... You should really look into a speed bleeder from Tick next time. Good to hear you got things rollin again.
