Problems bleeding the clutch slave cylinder...
Just finished replacing the clutch, flywheel, pp, and the slave cylinder. I put in a bleed hose and thought I had it bled. However, this morning I had problems with the clutch not disengaging, BUT when I'd pump the clutch 4-5 times the disengagement point would come back up and things would drive normally.
I checked under the car during lunch today (sat still around 5 hours), and don't see any leaks.
I've heard that sometimes it's hard to get the clutch slave cylinder bled completely. Is there anything I need to do to get the rest of the air out, or just bleed some more?
TIA, and have a good one,
Mike

When I swapped clutches a few weeks ago I had to bleed it for a long time... Don't let the fluid in the reservoir get too low while your bleeding it or you'll suck in more air. Good luck.

Pwrtrip: Just a stock replacement set of parts. Luk slave cylinder.
wcsinx: It's possible it's the MC, but I didn't touch it during all my recent clutch work.
cdkcorvette: I think I've got more bleeding to do. I'll let y'all know what happens when I get done.
Have a good one,
