Default pedal pressure issue! HELP

My slave cylinder busted. I changed the slave cylinder, master cylinder and replaced the line. Got it all back together. Now that i am trying to bleed. The pedal has no pressure but will come back up after pushing down. When i crack open the bleeder on the trans fluid comes out. I did this 50 times. It still has no pressure but will come back up and fluid comes out of the bleeder valve. I keep fluid filled. Any ideas?

Sounds like a problem I had after changing a master cylinder. I sat in the car and pumped it for about 10 minutes and it slowly got pressure. Mabey try that?

I bought it as a complete package. Line, slave and master cylinder all together from chevy. so i changed it all out. I can try pumping it more but was confused as to why fluid comes out of the bleeder valve but would not build pressure. Pumped prob. 50-60 times.

Explain the bleeding procedure that you're using.

I fill it up with fluid. I pump the pedal 15-20 times. Push and hold the pedal down. My buddy cracks the bleeder valve open. Lets fluid come out. Closes and i let off the pedal. I repeat till my hopes are gone.
