Ok, so i’m bleeding my brakes and clutch today as usual using the motive power bleeder. bleed the brakes fine. go to the clutch slave. its bleeding along fine and then all of the sudden THRRSTSTSTSTS all this air shoots out.
I go check the reservoir, its full to the top. there is still fluid in the bleeder. but the pressure has dropped a lot.
clutch pedal is dead and just flops to the floor.
So then i have my gf come out and pump up/down, hold. i release, close, up/down/hold, i release, close. it gets a little better and the pedal starts to come back. then i continue and THRESSDSDFDS. more air shoots out. we repeat a bit but nothing but air comes out. fluid levels are still ok. i can’t get anything out of the slave anymore but air.
I checked the master cyl. no visible leaks. i can open the bleeder valve w/ a full reservoir and nothing comes out. If i add pressure from the pressure bleeder, just air shoots out. pedal is dead.
Any ideas? I’m thinking my master cylinder might have just crapped out… i can’t get anything but air out of the system. I think i’ll try to vacumm bleed it tomorrow… does that make sense?
Thanks
