OK .. Someone please help... we have been working on this clutch for two days and we can not get it to bleed out.

 

Hi and welcome to FTE

What year and model are you working on so we can move your question to the right forum where you'll get more replies?

 

Several things could be happening. Are you bleeding it correctly? Have some one push the pedal to the floor and hold it, while someone else opens the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder. You'll need a peice of rubber hose over the bleeder outlet and the other end must be submerged in clean brake fluid in a clear jar. the brake fluid will squirt out of the hose into the jar. The person in the car must hold the clutch to the floor until the bleeder is closed. After the bleeder is closed they can slowly release the pedal, repeat till clear. On some slave cylinders the bleeder is not at the highest place on the slave cylinder. You'll have to remove the cylinder from the car with the line still attached, place a hose over the bleeder, open and left gravity push the fluid out, you'll have to hold the slave cylinder so the bleeder is at the highest piont on the slave cylinder. What ever you do, do not push on the clutch while the cylinder is disconnected from the car. Also do not let the master cylinder run dry. You could also have an air leak, the most likely place is at the bleeder valve. Put a pan under the slave cylinder, pull the bleeder and let the fluid run out while you clean the tip of the bleeder, reinstall the bleeder. You could have an air leak at the slave cylinder seals, this is highly unlikely if no brake fluid is leaking around the cylinder. Check the full master cylinder by rapidly pumping the clutch cylinder 6 times and then look in the master cylinder with a flashlight for fine bubbles.
