Issues bleeding clutch in my 2.8

ProjectXtreme · 10-19-2009, 05:57 PM

I put a new clutch kit and flywheel in my 2.8 and im having some major issues with bleeding the clutch..i bought a new master cyl and slave cyl for it from autozone and i cant seem to figure out what the issue is..The only thing i can think of at the moment is that the parts are from autozone..also its my second new master and my second new slave cyl..ive put more than a bottle of brake fluid through it and have tried multiple ways to bleed it including bench bleeding...anyone with any ideas please help me out

Best luck I've had is repeatedly pushing in the plunger on the slave cylinder. this will force all the air up the system if the master and resevoir are above it.

i had trouble as well with same thing the bleeder screw is very hard to get to because it was on the inner side of the slave cylender so i but eventually i got a shortened allen and pump about 200 pumps between bleeding. Also lmc truck sells a prebleed system that includes slave, master and resovor

If the throwout bearing was put in wrong, it won't seem to work right.
And the slave will blowout being over extened one to manytimes.
