Default Clutch Bleeding Problems...

This is for a 99 vette, but Camaros have the same basic system..

I have a new slave cylinder and remote bleeder..

stock master cylinder.

after bleeding for about a hour I can only get a inch worth of pedal out of it.

when we do open the bleeder we can clearly feel the pedal drop but its just only coming up a inch.. Its definately not enough to drive it..


What gives? Ive read posts where people had little to no problems and I cant seem to get it right to save my life. Ive heard where people use a vaccum pump and that doesnt seem to work..

im close to replaceing the stock mastercylinder but im not sure if that will help..

Am I missing something here or do I just need to keep trying?

you need to pull the pedal up by hand.
if your remote bleeder has a good check valve,
it will not allow air into the line.

Try an 01-02 Master they have a revised design might be worth it to change it out. I have an 01 or else i'd be changing my master with my upcoming clutch swap. FYI I have 23k on the clock so I think its fine but if it gives me a problem its getting changed out faster than a rabbit gets F*cked
