Help w/ bleeding the clutch I finally go the new McLeod MC to replace the old, leaking one. Bench bled the **** out of it, to where no more bubbles were coming out. So, I put it on the car and bleed it FOREVER
, all the while using the Buschman's method, and still the play in the pedal moves around. I'm guessing there is still more air trapped in there somewhere
, because while driving, the play will move so far down as to almost stick to the floor, yet when stopped and idling, there is little to no play in it at all. Immediately after bleeding the clutch, the pedal feels like it should, then feels like **** once the car's started.
While using the Buschman's method of using the Mity-Vac in the MC reservoir, pumped up to 25 psi, the pedal feels solid as a rock, but once the pressure is released, the play returns and continues to move around. This is bugging the hell outta me and needs to be fixed before I blow my tranny up all b/c the MC.
How do I get it all out fast and easy?
Thanks
Ryan

I tried bleeding it from underneath like it should be bled, tighten up the bleeder, the pedal feels fine, except for the excesive play. Then I go drive it around, and the pedal may go so far as to stick to the floor. I pump it up and can still barely get it into gear.
I have been bleeding it for 3 days straight and have gotten absolutely nowhere. After succesfully bench bleeding it and installing it, everything fell apart after hooking up the slave. Any help?
