I have a nice truck but every few months I have no pedal or clutch in it. I have to bleed the system at the bleeder valve at the manual transmission. I can get it to work but this time I get nothing. There is no evidence of fluid under the vehicle, so where is the fluid going? Could it be the master cylinder under the pedal inside the truck? I have bled it a couple of times and can not get any pressure on the pedal. I need some help here! Thanks, Tom

Hi there,

You will have to check under the dash for any signs of fluid leaking from the master cyl, as the slave is inside the bell housing, check for any dampness around the bell housing drain point (if used) if no leak at the master it will be the slave.
