~Dilemma! No pedal pressure...New Install~
Flywheel, PP, Slave, Clutch; all 0 miles...
I cannot get pedal pressure. I have bled with a remote bleeder for over two hours (with speed bleeder sitting in jar of clean fluid). No more bubbles whatsoever. Left in res to check for loss of fluid; steady up and down, no loss. Is it possible the master went bad while I was doing the install? Or did I get sold a bad slave?
I've already had to do 3 pulls, I think I will burn the ****** to the ground before I pull it again...
Thoughts?

only other things I can think of is trying to burp the line from the reservoir to master by hand, and disconnect slave from master and use a screwdriver to push in the valve letting gravity get some fluid through the system
I just read a sponsor mentioning those remote bleeders can leak air back into the system so maybe it's not sealing well or something

What do you think of the slave or master?

I ran into the exact same problem. I bled for 2 weeks every chance I got a extra body and couldn't get it to do anything. Talked to a mechanic and he said to pull the master back off and disconnect it from the slave and make sure the line going down was higher than the line coming in. Pump it up by hand and it'll presurize. I had done two before and never had a problem but sure enough what he said worked. I to pulled the tranny and changed the slave and had 2 new masters on it. Pumped it twice by hand and started working. I cussed more after it worked than while I was working on it.

Now I have a new problem, though it may be only a question. I now have a bit of chatter. Almost feels like Im not engaging the clutch properly. Though that is not the case as I have driven this thing 100k miles. Is it possible that it just needs to wear in again? Keep in mind that I put back in my old clutch.
Funny thing is; I have gone through four pulls in the last two weeks. Only thing new is the slave (twice). No more pedal on the floor, nor low engaging after high RPM's or WOT.
