Default Someone EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?

Trying to bleed A C6Z06 stock and I mean fully stock and brand new clutch system, I've used my mighty vacuum, I've used my air pressure bleed system, I've pumped it and bled for 9 days straight. I've went through 3 masters 2 slaves and a clutch and it will not build pressure there is no air coming out of the system(just clean fluid). Everything is STOCK LUK and BRAND NEW. I even have a katech remote bleeder that i used. I bench bled the new master both times....the most I will get is 5% squish at the bottom and then when I pull up the pedal and go back down-it's gone!..I used my mighty vac at 15HG for 30 minutes 10 times!...I feel.i have done everything humanly possible with no results (just to be clear I have been building corvettes and bleeding these clutch systems for years and never ran into something like this...

Chime in and let me know any thoughts...cause I'm out of em'

If you haven't already, try bleeding it the old school way - with an assistant. Have the assistant push the pedal to the floor while you open the remote bleeder. Close the bleeder and have the assistant raise the pedal. Rinse and repeat. This method can generate considerably more pressure than air pumps and vacuums. It might make a difference.
