I recently pulled the motor to do a new SOS clutch, timing belt service and general clean-up of an otherwise dirty engine and engine bay (on my 1991).
While I was in there, I replaced the clutch slave line with the braided steel unit, also from SOS. I’m having a bear of a time bleeding the clutch hydraulic system. I’ve run about a quart of DOT 3 through it (capacity is probably about ½ cup), but the pedal is still going straight to the floor with absolutely no resistance, and I have to raise it back up with my toe to return it to the “up” position. No signs of leaks anywhere and the fluid coming out of the bleed screw is clear and free from any air bubbles.
My slave is installed against the throw-out fork as it should be. No lines other than the slave line was disturbed.
What am I doing wrong?
