so i got my clutch slave cylinder hooked up and i went inside the car, pressed in the clutch and it just went straight to the floor. it doesn't even pop back up. i pumped it a few times to see if i could build up pressure but it won't. any ideas?

Bleeeeed baby, Bleeeeeed. :ylsuper Oh yeah, have fun bleeding it. Sometimes they can be a ***** to get all the air out.

Yeah you gotta bleed it.

-Pump several times slowly, then hold to the floor.-Open bleed valve on slave cylinder to let air/old fluid out-Close valve-Pull pedal from the floor slowly-Rinse and repeat

You gotta do the same with the clutch damper also, there's a bleeder there too. If you don't have a friend, I found that if I lodged a brick in the pedals, it would hold it to the floor while I opened the bleeder. It was a lot harder to bleed my ACT clutch like that than my stock KA clutch.

Instead of bleeding that blackbox/damper, remove it.
