I've had nothing but problems with this clutch swap.. the 500$ the shop was going to charge me would of definitely been worth it.

Anyway, I got the tranny mounted back up, and before I put everything back on I decided to bleed the master/slave. Opened the bleeder (remote line bleeder from a sponsor on here) I push the clutch pedal down and NOTHING. No pressure what so ever. I pumped a few times and no result. Same thing with the bleeder closed. WTF?

You have to do like 20 bleed cycles to build pressure. Keep bleeding and filling. Eventually the pedal will pressurize.

I just tried it like 50 times.. as I'm pumping, its not taking any fluid. The resovior hasn't moved.

How are you doing it? Here is the correct way.

1. Fill master.
2. Pump pedal a few times and hold down.
3. Open bleeder and let some fluid come out.
4. Close bleeder.
5. Pump a few times and refill master.
6. Repeat 1-5.

I bought the remote bleeder that supposedly had a "one man" bleeder screw, but that seems to be the issue. I took it out completely and fluid spilled out, and the res emptied out. I guess I need to take a trip to autozone and grab a normal one.

if you emptied the master cylinder, you will have to disconnect the line to the slave cylinder and bleed it there first, best way to do that is to stick and ball point pen (or something similar) in the end of the line to bleed it. Once you start getting pressure at the pedal, just hook the line up and bleed the slave. it takes a few trys but it will eventually build pressure. Good luck.

Alright that sounds like it might work better. So with the pen/line thing, bleed it normally? Pump pump pump hold, open, close, release?

Just have the res filled and take the line off the slave and use a pen or whatever to push the end on the line and pump a few times and the fluid will quickly flow down from the res to the end of the line. Then econnect the line and bleed like usual.
