I rebuilt my clutch master cylinder and everything went fairly smoothly until I went to engage the pedal. When I press in nothing happens, that is to say the pedal goes in but it doesn't engage the clutch. When looking at the slave and the clutch it looks like it is already partially engaged all the time. I bleed the system and topped off the fluid so I know it has fluid but cant figure out what is going on. When I start the truck i cant put it in gear. Any ideas? did I miss a step? Help?

Ok, my problem might be that I did not bench bleed. We will see but how do I bench bleed and reconnect it to the tubing with out getting break fluid everwhere?

Go to a good auto parts store and get a brake line plug.

It might drip a little but you shouldn't loose much fluid.

ok, I will do that. My other question is that the slave cylinder looks like it is 3/4 out already. when I put my hand on it I can not get it to move either way, is this right or should it be able to move?

how much movement should I be getting out of the clutch/slave? it is now moving but only the smallest amount. is it that I just need to bleed it more? I did the bench bleed and then used a vac bleeder to bleed the lines and still only get a very small movement.

Ok, it works. I got my preggo wife out in the garage and did the bleeding the old fashion way and it still wouldnt work so I asked her to step on it while I was underneath to see if I could see what was wrong and she says that it is harder to step on. I am like "really" and get out from under the truck and sure enough it was and it worked. Not sure what happened in the minute that it didnt work and when it did but I am glad it works. Thanks for the help.
