Default I need some hydraulic help

Well it started with replacing my master cylinder with just a stock one and i still couldnt build pressure in my clutch, so i replaced the slave as well. The replacement went fine but i can not seem to get it bled properly, i think. the pedal has alot of pressure from the moment you push on it but the clutch does not disengage enough to get into reverse, it goes into 1st but it also wont disengage enough to shift into 2nd while moving. Now i have used a mityvac, jdm, and the traditional method to bleed this this but what gets me is there is plenty of pressure but no disengagment?? I would appriciate any tips or thoughts thanks.

Ps. spec clutch and yes its shimmed

IS it a brand new clutch setup??? Sounds like you have the bleeding covered, but these cars are a complete PITA to bleed.
Did you do the actual measurement, Even though you have the shim, the only way to be certain is to measure. Do you have a new flywheel, or did you have yours cut?

The JMD method will get the air out, which seems to be the problem.

yea if the clutch worked before you replaced everything, its a bleeding issue.

I'm agreeing with you.

If you have any questions about the Spec shoot Jeremy (Spec-01) a pm and he'll get you taken care of.
