Clutch bleeding troubles
My 89 has a clutch that doesn't want to bleed.
I've gravity bled it and I've bled it following the instructions from a Haynes manual.
It bites about 2" off the floor and the last 2" of the pedal are "dead". I'm not really sure what to do at this point. I was thinking I might open the bleeder and let as much fluid out as I can, then refill and just let it gravity bleed.
My F-150's clutch was fine after just 1 gravity bleed. The F-250's might be giving me trouble because I tried to bleed it by the haynes manual pumping instructions vs gravity bleeding it first.
Any insite?

I have an '88 F-150 w/ the I-300 and the MOD5 tranny that does the same thing. I pulled the inspection cover off my tranny and could see brake fluid leaking out of the slave. I'd check that, I'm about to replace mine.
