so yea
I Should of done this job on my own from the start

so I had some work done on it
they didnt pinch the lines

so the clutch is now installed and tranny was also put back on

I Tried bleeding the system how it says on the haynes book

but my problem is the pedal has no pressure
it practically goes down on its own when you press it slightly

anyone have an idea??

Are you bleeding it correctly? It's much easier with two people. Pump the clutch a few times, have the other person open the bleeder valve, close the bleeder valve, and then let the clutch back out. Repeat until fluid squirts out of the bleeder valve with no air.

 

Also keep the cap off the fluid resivour and make sure it stays filled while bleeding the line.

 

You are going to need to vacuum the fluid through and hope the seals arent already damaged.

 

I think I got it

it made some pressure

but it feels like its not enough

and it wont do any more

 

vacuum hows that done?

 

About $150 at NAPA for a vacuum brake bleeder, holds about a half gallon of old fluid.

 

Less than half that for a pressure bleeder, which I think works better.

When I bleed clutches I use it to push new fluid into the clutch slave. That flushes fluid uphill towards the MC, so you're not working against gravity. Air bubbles like to go uphill...
