Clutch Master bleed (master in car) Ok I've been bleeding this clutch for two days and the pedal still sticks to the floor...2005 CTS-V brand new LS7 clutch kit, Tick remote bleeder..It was fine up until Sat after I changed the cam sprocket...I've read at least 100 write ups on bleeding but haven't come across a way to bleed the Master Cylinder while it's in the car..can anyone give me a tip?
Disconnect the master at the quick connect. Use a Phillips head to push in while assistant pushes pedal. Just like brakes. Make sure the pedal never goes up while you're pushing the check valve. Every three times check the reservoir.
It'll take a few reservoirs full to get the air out.
Still a stock master? If its adjustable then lengthen the rod to maximum stroke (giggetty) to get all the air pockets.

What was described above is basically bench-bleeding the master in the car. If that does not work, the master probably needs to be replaced. 90% probability that's what you'll end up having to do.

Yea, I wanna try this before I pull the trigger on another new part that'll cost me even more $$$ and more time...I hope it is just air trapped in there...It just boggles my mind that it was just working prior to this
