Need help with my speed bleeder I have been going at it for about and hour now and I get nothing. I did as the Tick web site says and left it open, then I tryed doing it old school. I can hear air coming threw but I am getting small amounts of fluid and no pedal. What do I do about this? Has anyone had this problem?

the speed bleeder has a check valve, so you dont need to be constantly opening/closing it. ive flushed my fluid 10+ times through it and heres the method i use.
1- crack bleeder 1/2 turn
2- hookup a clear tube going from speedbleeder to empty water bottle
3- pump clutch 4 times
4- refill reservoir
5- (repeat steps 3 and 4 until fluid is clear)
6- remove tube, close bleeder, top off fluid
7- pump clutch 10 times to expel remaining air
i usually flush my fluid whenever im waiting for my oil to drain while doing an oil change. the speedbleeder is probably the best part about the clutch system now. i also installed some speedbleeders on the brakes; make my car 30x easier with maintaince
I love my tick speedbleeder, but Tick ought to put some damn instructions when they sell these things.

Like I just posted in another thread, the line I received with my master will suck air in between the nut and the line when you just barely crack it open. I didn't think that was right at the time, but I wasn't about to pull the trans back out to replace the line, even if it was defective!

I put my vacuum pump on it today and I can see that it is pulling air but it has been on there for hours and the pedal is alittle better but still not where it should be. What should I start looking at?
