I installed a clutch master cylinder a few weeks ago and when I tried to bleed it, it wouldn't bleed at all. It's been way too cold to go out and keep trying lately but this weekend is manageable.

The pedal is all spring and has no hydraulic resistance at all and stays on the floor when pressed.

What could I be doing wrong? No matter how much I bleed there is no resistance in the pedal.

87 944 n/a

Any ideas?

 

pressure bleeder - that's the only way I've ever gotten this to work, borrow one or make one or buy one for $35

 

Did you change the slave as well?
Like mentioned above get a power bleeder, it makes things a lot easier.
How exactly are you bleeding the system now?

 

I only changed the master. I did this once before and I just had someone depress the clutch as I bled it just like bleeding brakes. Then I bought a hand pump bleeder.
