Did you read post #7? Was that not sufficient? Do you mean to pump it 100-200 times, crack open the bleeder screw and repeat? Genuinely curious since I installed a pre-bled master cylinder and line. When I attached the line to the slave cylinder everything was good to go.
Says to me any time you crack the bleed screw to try bleeding it again, you are in for another 200 pumps
So, if after 200 pumps, you still got nothing as far as a good pedal, you either have bad hydraulics or bad pedal bushings that are not allowing the full stroke of the MC
Check the pin on the clutch lever where it attaches to the clutch master cylinder
If the pin is worn, even a new bushing will not allow good enough clutch to shift gears
If your bushings, pin and pedal support bushings are okay, your new hydraulics may be NFG
Pull that MC rod off there and check that lever pin and the bushings in the pedal support

Pre bled MC and line is a gimmic IMO
You have to disconnect it to install the slave into the trans then reconnect it
That introduces more air and you are back to square 1 with the bleed procedure
Sounds good on paper though

Not exactly. The master cylinder and line came as an assembly already filled with fluid. The slave cylinder with the throwout bearing was separate. Push the line into the slave until it clicked. I cracked open the bleeder screw a couple times to make sure there wasn’t any air and done.
