bleeding clutch 91 s13

[own3d]

ok, well i replaced my master cylinder since it was leaking and have had a hell of a time trying to bleed this thing. there is the bleeder valve on the junction block and another one on the slave cylinder. the one on the junction block is normal, i open it half a turn, push the pedal down and it shoots some fluid out, close it let up on the pedal. i did this 4-5 times and moved onto the slave cylinder bleeder. i open it push the clutch down, nothing comes out, so i close it, let up the clutch and try again, nothing, i tried probably 7-8 times and never got any fluid to come out of it. today i took the bleeder all the way out and the hole started dripping fluid but i looked at the bleeder and there was no hole anywhere on it for fluid to go through it? i am completely confused by this and i need to get this thing outta the garage, my dad is tired of parking outside.

well, i figured out that the bleeder was plugged with a bunch of gunk so with a bunch of brake cleaner and a small screwdriver i cleaned it out. so now i can get fluid out of both of them and im getting some air on occasion but still getting absolutly no pedal pressure. i really need help getting this figured out. im also wondering if it might be the transmission, the bracket that comes out of it that the slave cylinder pushes on moves pretty easily and kinda has the slave at an angle to push on it. im going to go make a video of it so you can see what i mean.

First let me say the avatar video is better then the clutch one:)

You need to pull the transmission out. either your pivot ball for the fork broke[very likely] or the fork has fallen off the throw out bearing.

are there any how to's on removing the transmission, i could just get under there and start pulling things out but a little guidance would be nice. is there much id have to disconnect other than the bell housing bolts and driveshaft?

yeah I think there was a write up on it in 240 tech forum. do a search there using various phrases.

There is a trick removing and replaceing it by rotating it so the starter boss on the bell clears the floor pan of the car. other wise is simply unbolting it and any connecting parts to get it out.
