hey guys, i just changed my clutch line to a ss braided one and after bleeding about 15 times there's still no pressure in the clutch peddle. Keep in mind that everything was working fine before i decided to change the clutch line. Is there something im forgetting to do. or do i just continue to bleed until i get pressure build up again. I was reading this other tread and that guy had to bleed it for 4 hrs. Can that be right. Any how any advice will be greatly appreceiated. Thanks

there are two places to bleed the clutch, one on the slave cylinder and one on the damper circuit block. try doing both, or tey removing the damper circuit all together. other than that, just keep working at it.

a pressure bleeder might help if you can get one.

Hey, I had the same problem when Changing my clutch, I found my master cylinder went bad. It worked fine after that, but you still need to bleed the brakes a few times to make sure all the air is out.

yeah, your master or slave probably went out. happened to me. here's a tip: if you replace one, get ready to replace the other.

bleeding it is a PITA. what I found best was to do the dampner twice, then slave twice. dampner twice, slave twice. and so on untill no more bubbles. just don't make the mistake of letting the master run dry like I did.

^hes even more right. I replaced the slave cylinder and that didnt work so I figured it was the master cylinder.
