Did you open the bleed screw on the slave cylinder to let the fluid push =
the air out of the system?  Just open it and let it sit for a while.  =
Because I am impatient and always suspect a problem. I often put a =
little spittle on my finger and put it over the open bleed screw.  If =
air is coming out it will blow bubbles in the spittle.  Then I relax and =
wait for the fluid to start dripping.  I find that when I do this, I =
don=E2=80=99t even have to bleed the clutch, because with the bleed =
screw on top, all the air evacuates the system.=20

OK---so, I have replaced the clutch master and slave with new units from =
HS.  I have looked at the brake master and it is clean as a pin.  All =
lines to both systems are tight and there is new fluid in the cannister.

=20

Pumping the brake and clutch pedals as much as I can  i can build up no =
pressure at all in either.  I had filled the cannister before =
starting----and---I see no decrease in fluid level in it after pumping =
the pedals.

=20

Is it possible that the cannister is clogged up and won't let fluid get =
to the masters?  Other that that, I'm stumped as to why I can build up =
no resistance in either system.

=20

Any thoughts?

thanks

tom
