Haven't really found any help that might help ME. We've put nearly 30 cursing hours trying to get the stupid quick connect in, not to mention it was a b i tee see h when we tried to get it out. Anyways. Not sure if this is the newer slave or not, but the clutch was replaced by previous owner with a new ls6 clutch last year.

We tried opening the bleeder and still couldn't get the quick connect to stab in there where it would stay. So I decided to get in the car, push the clutch down and put the trans in neutral, and next thing I new I had brake fluid all over down low. Well the clutch is stuck on the floor, in neutral, and still the stupid thing won't go in. We went ahead and tightened the bleeder back up.

Will the gravity (nose of the car being off the ground 2 feet) or perhaps being low in the fluid reservoir cause this problem? Or do you have to put over 200 ft. lbs. of torque onto the quick connect to get it to snap in? We can't figure it out and it's absolutely frustrating, it's the only thing we have left to finish the car after being down since I bought it.

For similar reference refer to this thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...099&highlight=

 

the only things that would realy keep it from staying in are the tangs being worn out or bent on the inside of the slave fitting, pressure in the slave or master cyl line keeping it from totaly seating, or the o-ring on the master line fitting is cut. i would be looking at the fitting for the slave. good luck dude i know its frustrating.

edit: FYI some of thos fittings are hard to put together. the way the car is sitting right now doesnt matter and when you do finaly get the fitting in (and you will) you still have round 2. the bleeding process.

 

this is extremely frustrating me. the clutch is stuck to the floor so since the new motor swap we decided to start her up for the first time. was freakin awesome! except the car won't go anywhere cause of this stupid problem.

how in the world can I tell if the slave end is worn out?? I mean, can't really see down in there.

 

a buddy of mine had this problem as well on his 01 TA WS6 so i will talk to him and see how he went about getting the hose plugged in and get back to ya on that.

 

The line has a check valve at the end when diconnected it shouldn't allow fluid to flow.
Hope it didn't pop something when the pedal was depressed???
Check the slave recepticle well. Get a small mirror if you have to. Something is not right.
