'91 Clutch bleeding question
I posted this in the "tech" section and had a few suggestions, but so far nothing works. I replaced the clutch master and slave . I've tried everything possible to bleed the system to no avail. Pumping the pedal, Mighty-Vac, gravity flow. Perhaps someone has more suggestions

Did you bench bleed the master? I had to pump a lot of fluid through to get it to work. Good luck! :seeya

Re: '91 Clutch bleeding question (Vettman 1)
On my '90 when I replaced the master and slave I was having problems trying to gravity bleed it. I filled the slave up before installing it then when everything was connected I put a pan undder the slave and cracked the bleed screw on the slave. I then made sure the master was full, grabbed a stool and a beer and sat there refilling the master every time it started to get low. When I was finished with the beer(I'm sure any 12 oz drink would do) I craweled back under the car and tightend the bleed screw and top off the master. After that everything was good to go.
Good Luck
By the way Thats a cool color :cheers:

Re: '91 Clutch bleeding question (Vettman 1)
I've filled the (bench bled) the slave as Green Hornet suggested. However I get NO fluid to drip from the line attached to the master Cylinder, The line is in good condition, and is not restricted. The cap is off and the master is full of fluid. I'd suspect a def. master cylinder, but it's a brand new GM part. :mad
