So yesterday my car wouldn't go into gear when I pushed the clutch in all the way. So I checked the fluid and it was really low. Today I went and got a bleeder kit and clutch fluid. While I was bleeding the system bubbles were constantly coming out. The old fluid was black and I flushed it out til it was clear. Afterwards the clutch was still doing the same thing. I looked for leaks in the line and inside the cab and everything was dry. I was wondering if I could blow air in the bleeder valve and see if any leaks show that way or is that a bad idea?

 

did you have someone inside your car stepping on the clutch pedal while you look at the fork?

 

Look for leakage out of the slave cylinder (pull the boot off). The fluid must have gone somewhere.

Like Tony said, you should try conventional bleeding with someone in the car pushing the pedal.

 

Do a one-person bottle bleed till you are 100% confident all the air is gone.

Check all the components for leaks.

If it all checks out...you may need a freeplay adjustment on the pedal and/or a new clutch or clutch component(s).
