Cannot bleed the clutch PLEASE ANSWER THIS
Cannot bleed the clutch PLEASE ANSWER THIS I have been trying to bleed the master with the mity vac and I keep pulling air bubbles like crazy. I think that the master Cyl is done.
I ordered a remote bleeder line from LPP in case I have to replace the slave cylinder.
what do you think I should do first?
replace the master and hope that it is bad
take the tranny out and replace both hydraulic systems with new ones.
thanks

You didn't tell us why you're doing all this...what problem are you fixing?
Here's some things to go on for now:
If you're not losing fluid, eg. the reservoir level isn't going down, the slave isn't very likely to be your problem. A non-leaking system with a soft clutch pedal that isn't disengaging the clutch, and bleeding doesn't fix, is usually an internal master cyl failure. It just recirculates fluid internally because the rubber/neoprene internals have failed.
If you're losing fluid, find out where it's going and replace that part.

they are a pain...try you mighty vac cup with line attached to bleeder and hold it up. it should bleed out without pumping it... also make sure you have a hose in the cup that sets down in brake fluid.. it usually takes awhile.. i have had my friends sit in the car on the rack and pump and pump.....
and pump and pump some more...

I had this problem with my 99 vette this winter, and i was puming pumping and pumping and couldnt get anything to work I turned out being a bad mastercylinder not pressurizing well(Im assumeing the orings inside were shot)
I am doing this because I am unable to get any pressure build up, the pedal is very loose and does not come back up, this started happening after I missed 3rd gear twice.....
So I am reading now on how to make an adjustable master cylinder since I have a spare one. I think that changing the master first is going to give me more information.
I hope I dont have to drop the tranny since I just put it all together not even 2 months ago.
If it is indeed only the MC then I am a happy man.....
