Default Clutch Bleeding Prob, T56 swap

Well Im having hell trying to get this clutch bled after swapping from A4 to M6....
I think mayb I have put in my master too far to one side, there is a bit of an angle for the rod between the master and pedal....Im afraid that it might be letting air in or something. Not losing fluid but not bled enough to get the car into 1st gear at an idle

What do you guys think?

Why do you think you are letting air in the system again? Because how it is mounted to the firewall? No. You might let air into the CAR (interior) but not your hydraulics.

If you can not bleed it, find one of my threads where I go over how to bleed them correctly.

That angle won't cause the problem; the rod is pressing on the top of the piston and the piston isn't going to become cocked in the bore due to your current angle.

I replied to your PM.

You dont think the rod could bend the metal sleave and cause a leak?
