okay ive stuck a new clutch in, new slave cylander new master cylander, and ive still got no clutch pressure

also underneath the car theres a box with a u shaped pipe on one end then one end going into the transmission and the other going up towards the bonnet anyone know what this does?

that's the damper loop. it'll make the pedal softer and the clutch bleeding a bigger headache. Get your hands on a new stainless line that will eliminate the damper loop from somewhere like spl parts and then bleed the system from the clutch slave cylinder.

No the damper loop is not needed. Here is a writeup for the entire process.

I just did this mod and made bleeding my clutch 100x easier. Plus clutch pedal feel has greatly improved. I recommend this mod. Also, i got my SS clutch line from a group buy over on zilva.net $22 shipped.

were you guys worried about breaking the lines? if i don't like the feel w/o the damper...would it be easier to break the lines?

i'm looking to do this removal this weekend.
