Lou:
You may have air in your clutch master cylinder. It's usually best to
bench bleed it because the stroke of the clutch pedal does not move the
master cylinder piston as far as you can when you do it by hand on the
vise. This ensures that you get all the air out.
Bench bleeding is simple. Attach the M/C to your vise using one of the
mounting flanges. Fill the reservoir. Push the plunger in all the way
and hold it momentarily until you cover the exit hole with your finger.
While holding your finger on the hole, release the plunger. Release your
finger. Repeat three times. Don't let the reservoir get empty. Reinstall
the M/C, and attach the hose to the slave cylinder. Open the bleeder on
the slave cylinder and just let the the fluid gravity flow until there
is a solid stream of fluid and not air.
I hope this solves your problem.
