Okay, apparently I don't understand how to bleed our clutches. Or whatever
I'm doing is not working. I've got my Motive "auto-bleeder". Put about a
quart of brake fluid in it. Pumped it up to 10 psi. Loosen bleeder screw.
Out comes fluid out of bleeder screw as expected. Take a mallet and smack
the clutch slave (new) and master (rebuilt) cylinders to make sure all air
out. Close up bleeder screw. Disconnect Motive.
Get in car. Push on pedal. Pedal goes to floor. Pump pedal a ton. Get
slight pressure increase but nothing like it's supposed to be. If I let it
sit about 15 secnds, push on pedal, goes to floor again until pump pedal a
number of times to get pressure up SLIGHTLY.
I have repeated the above prodecure about 5 times, going through almost a
gallon of brake fluid.
So, what's going on? Should I pump the pedal while Motive is hooked up?
Should spring be attached to slave (I've done it both ways)? I did have a
speed bleeder on the slave as well but that didn't seem to make much of a
difference. Am I missing something?
Advice please (!!!!) as this should be the last major thing I should have to
do to my car mechanically before I can actually drive it (after I finish
interior work).
