clutch wont bleed properly

Featured Replies

Hello, Ive been working on my 280z for awhile now, i have it running, stopping but not driving! all because of the clutch. The clutch slave cylinder was toast so i replaced it, the master cylinder is fine, so i bled the system, and re bled it, and again... and one more time! I cant seem to find any pressure, and if i remove the bleed screw oil streams out. Perhaps someone could help me here? im lost, i dont know why its being so darn stubborn.

ZMan...

You mention oil coming out of the slave... I assume you mean brake fluid? Oil will not give you the proper pressure needed to move the slave's piston.

Might want to verify that the slave's rubber hose/line is not expanding/leaking with each attempt to press the clutch. If the hose is bad, it will absorb all of the pressure vice the slave's piston.
