i have replaced my cmc, slave, and hard lines. I am in the process of bleeding the system but I have a huge problem. No, and i mean no fluid is being pumped by the cmc (clutch master cylinder). I feel no air pushed through the bleeder nipple and the fluid level in the resivoir is certainly not decreasing when I try to 2 man bleed the system or one man for that matter.

I think I bench bled my cmc but its my first time doing it and the instructions were for a brake master cylinder not a cmc.

This is the second cmc i've tried so ITS NOT the cmc or the slave. No holes in the hard lines, and no leaks anywhere!

I'm dumbfounded with the crap and I'm considering hari kari, so please help!!!

 

what happends when you press the pedal? just stays on the floor? Just pump away eventually it will harden. It took forever when I did mine, thought I was doing it wrong.

 

i've pumped a bajillion times. when you say pump, do you mean with the bleeder valve closed or open? Here is the thing, you'd think by pumping the clutch, the fluid level would drop right? my resivoir stays level.

 

wuth the valve open, i know it doesnt seem like it is going down, its cuz its only like an 1/2 ounce to fill the lines. just pump!

 

you da man, got it!

 

See, that thing tricked me too the first time. I had my little sister pumping while i looked at everything i was convinced that it was broke, but persistance is key. Glad to hear it worked out for yah.

 

be sure to tighten the valve back up, don't want to be leaking and lose pressure down the road.
