Hi,
I just installed a new clutch slave on my 1500 Midget because the rubber
seal on the old one fell apart.  I've now bled the new slave 5 times and I
still can't get enough pressure to engage the reverse gear.  I can get into
first gear, but can hear metal-on-metal clanking when I change the gears.

Any secrets for getting this thing to work right?  Do I just need to keep
bleeding the line?  The clutch pedal has a lot of pressure against it, so
could the slave cylinder be installed wrong?  Since I was able to bolt it
into place I'm assuming that the bolt is going down through the groove on
the side of the slave cylinder and that it's installed in the right
position.

Thanks for your suggestions,

John
