clutch bleeding problem. (surprise) :/
I have a US brake 7/8 master, ran through -4 line to a 98 OEM GM slave cylinder. Bled the master, bled the slave with **** poor results and NO clutch movement. I bought a mity Vac, pulled air out, still no clutch engaugement. I had my dad push the pedal as i opened the bleeder, had him hold it down, till i tightened the bleeder, he would release, and then id crack it as he'd push, and so on for 15 times. The fluid coming out was clean/clear with no bubbles, but it seemed like only 25% of the pedal's movement was actually pushing fluid through, at a VERY weak flow. usually when i bleed a clutch slave and i just crack the bleeder and push the pedal it squirts HARD and you feel it in the pedal. Thats NOT what i am experiencing at all. im out of ideas and im VERY pisssy about it. Anyone have any ideas? thanks
