    Clutch pressure

    Kay, so we got the motor in and got it running but there is a problem. We tried to bleed the clutch to get the pressure to build up and nothing is coming out. We can't get pressure. I checked the DIY forum and couldn't find anything. Can anyone help?

    You know to bleed the clutch you have to open the bleeder screw.

    You are going to have to be more specific if you want people to be able to answer.

        Make sure the MC is always full. And it does take a while to bleed out the system.

          Is the rod connected to the clutch master cylinder?

            No pressure created?

            You mean your clutch pedal will not spring back up? If that's the case, one or all three are suspect:
            Master cylinder, slave cylinder and/or clutch hose.

            It seems like you are bleeding it correctly. After many bleeding attempts and your clutch pedal is still dead(no pressure), then change one or all of the above mentioned.

            You might as well, you got a new motor you said, so why not couple that with new clutch system components?

              Clutch pressure

              I had the same problem I replaced my Master cylinder, slave cylinder, then ajusted my clutch and it worked fine. Try adjusting your clutch if still nothing then go ahead and replace the Two. For both of them I paid $70 shipped off Ebay.

                Bad news...We got pressure, back to whee it was when it ran well. We were out a few hours When my clutch started losing pressure. WTF? I get home after having to struggle through every gear and park it over night. The next day I go out to check and it has noooooooo pressure. Now is it possible I pushed the fluid through that bleeder valve because I am not the one who was adjusting it. I was the one pumping the clutch. Is there a certain amount of torque I have to tighten it to? Also, I check the MC and there was now no fluid in it. It did fine on the test drive. What else could it be?

                  Your leaking and bad. WHen you did your swap you check if all the hoses were on tight? Check your MC for leakage? Lift the slave cylinder boot and see if its leaking? Those are things you should check. It should be damn obvious where its at if its losing it that quick.

                    check where the rubber line meets the top of the tranny... follow the clutch line and look for wet spots. check by the master cylinder behind the pedal, check the line from the slave cylinder over the tranny and over to the damper on the firewall... with a leak this big, youll find it.
