I just got done putting in a slave and all I had to do was pump the clutch a few times. All I did was the slave btw. The slave cyl's don't come pre bled. The first few pumps of the clutch will be to get fluid into it. You'll need to bleed the system to get it done right. You'll notice that your clutch won't be up to par till u bleed it.

Ok, I used the Mityvac, pressure is back! Thank God! Pumped it up to 25 psi's 3 times, LOT'S of air in the system! Installed everything back and fired it up
in first gear clutch down, car doesn't move...released the clutch slowly car starts to move...GREAT
When I put it second it grinded and I could feel that I lost pressure slowly, guess theres more air in it, gonna bleed some more tommorow.
And about the shim...it said in the instructions to use the shim if you resurface the flywheel....looks like everything is working
I'll let you all know tomorrow if I get the air out....
Thank you

Drove the car tonight, feels very good....exept that I'm loosing pressure
when I have the clutch pressed at redlights, takes about 5 sec then pressure goes down, There is NO air left in the system so I think my master is trashed as well. Ordering a new tomorrow....
