Default Bleeding Clutch Problem......I'm Stuck...

Okay so this is what happening:

When i bleed/pump the clutch, the pedal will go from GREEN Pedal to RED Pedal then have resistance (This is where i have been pumping to, during the bleeding)...(I can pump from Green to Red all day with no problem)......If i try Pushing the clutch Pedal from RED Pedal to BLUE Pedal, the Slave Cylinder will Leak....Then air gets back into the line again...Back to square one....

After bleeding for a while (GREEN to RED Pedal Only) the pedal still feels spongy & when i press my clutch pedal from GREEN to RED the car wont start...(If I try to press the pedal from RED to BLUE i'm sure the clutch slave cylinder will leak/**** up again...................

PRETTY MUCH I CAN'T PRESS THE CLUTCH ALL THE WAY DOWN WHEN I'M BLEEDING OR THE SLAVE WILL LEAK....

This is how I've been bleeding:
1. get someone to pump clutch pedal 5-10 times & hold pedal to the floor.
2. release slave cylinder bleed valve & re-tight it back.
3. Tell person doing the pedal pump he can let go of clutch pedal & pump again.
4. Start over with step 1 till clutch feels normal again.


This is the Hanyes Manual Instruction.......Imma try this out, but it takes a long time
1. Release Valve on Slave.
2. Have someone then press clutch pedal down & hold.
3. Tighten Slave valve back up.
4. Tell someone to bring clutch pedal back up.
5. Repeat process......

Day 3 wrking on vehicle :'(

If the slave is leaking, install a new one. Period. Then, see if the clutch release fork moves when the pedal is depressed.

The slave is leaking, you need a new one. It can't be trusted now. There is nothing to this, I wouldn't take it too a shop.

The slave is NEW (I exchanged the 1st new Slave for another new Slave just to make sure i didn't get a Defective slave) .....If I use the 2nd Method/Correct Method, this problem doesn't a rise, but the clutch pedal doesn't stiff up like it suppose to.....Think i need to try it again tommarow......

Sounds like the clutch MC might be bad. If you need one I have one I can sell you cheap.

Your clutch engagement point could be ****ed up and you could be hyper extending the slave some how.. My only guess however I'm 100% positive it's all due to your slave cylinder. Where are you getting these slaves from?
