i think its time to take it to a real mechanic because i just cant figure it out. it started with the hyraulioc line came out and the master cylinder rod was broke so i replaced the master and the line.when i try to bleed it the best i get is a quarter peddle and the truck wont start.im lost now i keep pumping and nothing changes

not much fluid will come out...

I use the finger trick just like I do on brakes... when there is no air bubbles close the bleeder and pump the hell out of it...

it takes 20 very rapid pumps to make the pressure...you gotta be faster than the residual valve...

you got air trapped in there yet....

you are using two people right? if you do the trick I posted all the air will come right out... did 100s of them and never had an issue yet...

Did you remember to hook back up the neutral safety switch on the clutch pedal?

fordtruck owner

we tried bleeding the cluth on my buddies truck for a solid 45 minutes after he replaced the slave. it wasnt until iwas poking around at where you put the fluid till i realised there was a rubber plug in it. took that out and we had it done in 5 minutes.

where was the plug?

Inside the master under the cap.

the resevoir. im pretty sure it was supposed to be attached to the cap, but it was just kind of sitting in there on my buddies truck, i guess it was blocking any fluid from getting to the slave.

i know on his honda that rubber thing is attached to the cap.
