I lose pressure when I bleed them like the brake. I press then release the valve from the slave and end up losing pressure. I get more pressure when I tighten the slave cylinder up, take the top off the master cylinder and just pump it slow? I dont get it, I need air out, please help.

I've always had good luckwith this method..,

Find 12-16 inch long piece of vacume hose that fits over slave cylinder bleeder

find suitable plastic bottle with screw-on lid, drill hole in lid to o.d of vacume hose , add 6 oz brake fluid to bottle, insert tube into cap, submerge end of hose into brake fluid,

fill master cylinder, pump clutch pedal..until clean fluid fills bottle.
