My muffler fell off and knocked my hydraulic clutch line off the transmission. I lost the black quick connect clip and clear retainer I made both because you cannot buy them any where. I got everything back together and the clutch pedal got hard and it would not go down. I tried bleeding nothing, I took off the master cylinder and I changed the o-rings. I put it back together bench bled and fill the fluid. Now it is going all the way down line, but not in slave. I made sure the line was working, still nothing. I tried pushing fluid in bleeder and it pushed back what is going on with the system?

I have bench bleed the master and when I go to gravity bleed I get nothing at the bleeder screw I tried reverse bleeding pushing fluid through the bleeder up and it seemed like the slave pushed it back.

Maybe it is a bad slave or maybe it has something to do with the part you made.

This system is self bleeding, if the pedal wont go down then the slave is bad, if there is no pedal you must just keep pumping it until you see no little bubbles coming up from the master, it can take a bit.

Let us know what you find

Best, Ken
