Need need help LOL Hey guys noob here, not sure if I am posting in the right place but any help or advice I would appreciate it thanks in advance
I have a 2000 Camaro SS with a T56 trans
and the clutch pedal has zero resistance it goes down and comes up with zero pressure, I have replace the master cylinder and the slave cylinder, I bench bled the master cylinder and gravity bled the slave cylinder and also did a traditional bleed on the whole system, And the pedal still has zero pressure and the clutch won’t engage or diss engage, I am all out of ideas and I don’t know what else to troubleshoot, the clutch was replaced about two months ago by A fairly decent shop, any advice or if anyone actually knows what’s going on I would extremely appreciate it Thanks in advance, I do not want to keep pulling the trans in and out this is the second time I’ve done it LOL and I’m getting pretty tired of it,

How long did the bleed take? If under 30 minutes you aren't done yet, last time I did it the time was closer to 40 minutes. I had to replace the fluid in mine and the slave went shortly after and I took that opportunity to install a tick performance bleed line, best thing ever. I have hooked up a vacuum to the line and bled the system with about 1.5 bottles of brake fluid and the pedal was super firm. If it is spongy or sticking to the floor, it is most likely air still in there. Check for leaks to make sure all the lines are tight air can't get in. The OEM master can trap air that is released is small bubbles when barely pushing in on the pedal, that is why I opted for a vacuum bleeder. There are threads here on that, one word of caution, keep the vacuum under 10 on the gauge. I think I killed my slave my putting too much vacuum on it and flipping a seal. I am still having transmission issues but that was narrowed down to shim gap, hopefully your issue if fixed with a good bleed.
