Clutch Bleed nightmare
I replaced my clutch master cylinder, due to a broke clutch rod.
I did not pull the slave cylinder, so I did not bench bleed it.
After I installed the new master, I have no pedal pressure at all, it goes straight to the floor, and stays there. I bled it for a good 3 hours last night and got a pretty steady stream after tipping the MC forward and re installing then bleeding, but still no pressure.
I let it gravity bleed over night, But I still dont think I will still have pressure, what could this be?

Never replaced one on a Ford. I did a slave on a Nissan before. After we put it on there I had to pump it up for about 45 min. It took so long my left leg gave out and had to start pumping it with my right.

Well, I got some pressure, but stil wont engage in gear.
When I press the clutch, all I get is a loud howling noise, It stops when I let the clutch out.
I guess its going to the shop when I get the money saved up. Have them do a clutch and TO bearing and slave.
