<< I read a few letters recently about how to bleed the hydraulic system for
the clutch. One guy even said that he uses air pressure to force the
fluid through the system thus forcing the air bubbles out. We tried
that. Couldn't get it to work but managed to obtain a spray-back of
fluid all over the engine compartment. We can't get any feeling of
pressure on the pedal. We have disconnected the hose at the master and
held a finger over the outlet hole. Then we get pressure on both the
finger and the pedal. When we add the long hydraulic line that passes
through the engine compartment, we can't get pressure at either end.
When we try to bleed at the slave we get bubbles but the pedal pressure
doesn't seem to get better. We've worked on this darned thing for two
long evenings with no apparent gain in toward the fix. >>

It sure sounds like a bad line. Did you replace the flex line? If you did,
could one of the connectors be stripped or not tight? If you didn't replace
it, have a solid pipe made with the correct connectors. This is a common
problem with the flex lines.
Let us know what you find.
