Here is the problem- clutch slave cylinder boot was full of oil- no good. We replace the slave but still have poor clutch 'response'. I've had these things (slave and master) fail at about the same time so i go ahead and replace the clutch master cylinder too. Now i have no clutch whatsoever. The clutch and pressure plate 'stuff' is pretty new so that is not a problem (good tranny and throwout 'arms' too). I heard once about needing to use a pressure bleeder system to bleed the system, versus the pump-hold-open-close-release-pump system (like you would with brakes). This is urgent- can anybody shed any light on this? OR did i get a bumbed (new) clutch Master cylinder? Pressure bleeder system is where you pressurize the resivour w/ air and then just open the bleed screws versus pumping it by hand). patient is an 82 westy formerly diesel, now a 2L. (non syncro, but the parts are the same) Matthew, needing 40oz.
