Default clutch bleeding issues

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!!!

is it leaking at all on the inside of the car?

Also when you bleed it,
1:loosen the 8mm or 10mm on the slave
2:then push the pedal to the floor.( not all the way to the floor or it will damage the cmc)
3. then tighten the bleed screw
4: then hand pump (eventually when it builds up pressure it will come back on its own.
5: re-peat

try the gravity bleed, just open up the bleeder on the slave and keep the reservoir full.
