ok so i have been working on my clutch cylinders for the past couple weeks, today i finished installing my slave (master is already in) and I tried bleeding it for a while and gained a lot of pressure, but i was running low on fluid so i stopped hoping that i could just ease it to the store to get more fluid, and then i turned the car on and had to ram into reverse, and then i shot back and stalled and had trouble getting it out of reverse with the engine off, and now i have absolutely no pressure in the pedal, did i just not bleed enough or did i do something wrong or what? should i bleed the master cyl also? someone help me please!

 

You should bench bleed the master cylinder. If you didn't, and it sounds like you didn't, take it back off and bench bleed it. You will never get all the air out of the lines and cylinder if you don't. As far as getting it out of reverse goes, you might have been the shift fork by slamming it into gear like that.

 

yeah it told me to bench bleed but some other guy told me i didnt really need to do that, the shift fork seems to be working fine I had it running earlier and it just seemed kinda mushy again like there was still air in, how do I bench bleed the master cyl though? anyone?

 

You dont bench bleed a clutch master. Just keep bleeding it from the slave...

 

ive bled through like 10 bottles of brake fluid so far how certain are you that the master doesnt need to be bench bled?

Very sure, service manual just says bleed like normal after replacing the master. I didn't bench bleed mine when I replaced it.

 

how long did it take you to bleed it? is it normal to go through that much fluid, and what should the stream look like when i know it is fully bled, is it gonna be like solid and that pee color or what?

 

No bench bleed necessary. It should be solid, no air bubbles and the color of the fluid. It takes a while to get the air out sometimes. If you still have problems check to make sure you dont have a small leak somewhere.

 

could a while be like 4 hours?
