Default help new master slave no pressure

I just recently changed my friends 97 prelude master slave cylinder because it was leaking and had issues when shifting into gears plus no fluid in the resevoir.

I changed out the master with a new one and for some reason im not building pressure. when i bleed it all the bubbles are out and theres a stream of fluid coming out with no bubbles. It just bleeds out with no pressure when i bleed it. I checked to see if any leaks are present and there are none. Need some info asap since im in FL for 3 more days and want to get this solved.

i have a friend pump and i bleed the valve. we did this over and over atleast 300 pumps. all bubbles are out but still no pressure building up. could i have gotten a defective master slave cylinder???? Does a prelude require a different method of bleeding the clutch?

did u bench bleed the MC before you put it in the car?
i know you have to do that on a brake master cylinder, pretty sure its the same for a clutch one.

How about this. Have you closed the bleeder valve and tryed to pump the system back up to pressure? thats what I had to do on mine after replacing master and slave cylinders and bleeding the system out.
