I recentley replaced the clutch master and slave cylinder on my 280zx.I cant seem to build up any pressure, I dont see any leaks. there is only one bleeded screw on the slave. and a screw on the bottom of the master. any ideas.thanks in advance.

so when you replaced the clutch you disconeected the clutch line? most people just unbolt it from the trans and let it hang while the trans is out, anyhow, did you verify there was no crud in the bottom of the master cylinder resivior blocking the inlet?and that the pushrod on the slave is preperly seated on the throwout fork?and that you didn't forget to install the throwout bearing (I did that once) and that you bled the master and then the slave and got all the air out?

and I did once get an ncorrect clutch cover that I simply coud not disengage, could be a bad one

also make sure that the pushord is adjusted peroperly under the dash

oh, my bad, everything works one mionute then nothing the next? you replaced the master and slave, made sure the slave pushrod was preperly seated on the t/o fork and the slave firmly bolted to the trans, and bled the master, then bled the slave, and adjusted the pushrod at the pedal?
