I used the 15 second technique-(hold the clutch for 15 secs. w/ the engine running 8 or 10 times and let the bubbles work their way up, putting a vacuum hose on the bleeder valve w/ the other end in a big bottle of brake fluid and purging that way, also the old fashioned one man on the pedal and one man on the bleeder valve technique too-how would you force fluid back up through the system and what could you use? clutch masters the problem very often as opposed to the slave? will check clutch rod too-thanks a lot for the info too-

I have an 86' 505 i bought from a forum member, and after replacing the slave cylinder w/ a brand new one, and making good and sure it was bled thoroughly, can physically watch it work and move the throw-out-arm, but dont have enough pressure to put it in gear.Also, when pumped fast, pressure bulids then goes away. I know this sounds like its not bled enough, but anyone know what it could be-could it possibly be the "master cylinder" looking unit on the firewall under the brake booster?? thanks for the consideration- -Rick MOD EDIT: Merged your duplicate post to this one since I replied to the other one...
