Angry Major headaches bleeding clutch

I've been trying to bleed my t-56 with no luck.
I've already drained from the master to the quick connect going into the slave cylinder and now am attempting to bleed from the bleeder valve on the trans.

I am getting NO pressure build up at all and there are no bubbles coming from the resivour. What's going on???

Is your clutch master shot? You should be able to bleed it fairly quickly and get pressure bleeding from the bleeder on the trans.

Just to be clear, your not allowing the clutch fluid to fully empty the reservoir when bleeding correct?

I ended up breaking down and going to buy a MityVac (that **** is the **** FYI)

Ended up bleeding trans for a few, and the pedal was still mush...Then went to the reservoir and did probably 5 pumps in there to the master and pedal was hard as me as an adolescent boy


Highly suggest picking up a MityVac to save yourself time and a headache.

Weird, I had absolutely no luck with the mityvac. It looked like it was pulling air bubbles but I have no clue where they were coming from. Ended up bleeding the traditional way and I got a hard pedal very quickly.
