Ok so my old slave basically exploded, you guys shoulda seen the amount of rust and corrosion in there. I bought a correct slave and put it in. Let me tell you how glad I was it was on the OUTSIDE of the bell housing;). Gravity bled until clean fluid came out. Topped off, then proceeded to purge the air with my right hand on the clutch and my left working the bleeder attached to a clear hose leading into a container. Every ten pumps I'd top off the reservoir. I'm certain NO air got in from the res. I did this for about an hour or two. Still NO pressure. I also bought a vacuum bleeder and bled it that way and reverse bled the system trying to get all the air out. The master would pump the fluid through just fine in the amount you would expect.
Two things, 1- There is a psst sound then air bubbles and the very very bottom of the clutch pedal about every 10 pumps. 2- When installing the slave I accidentally pressed the clutch pedal to the floor fully extending the slave. I thought I pushed it all the way out but it went back in and there was no fluid loss.
Everything I can see there are no leaks, so either air is getting in somewhere or? The master functions normally as far as I can tell. With the res cap off and full of fluid I press the clutch pedal and the fluid level in the res does NOT rise( fluid rising being an indication that the master is bad).
Is the slave bad? Is the master bad? Is it really just air in there and if so can I use some Teflon tape on the upper part of the threads on the slave? I mean there is NO pressure after bleeding/purging for almost two hours. Can I cap off the line leading to the slave to test the master? Anything I'm missing? It was FINE until the slave went.
PLEASE HELP??!!
Thank you
