Ok i've been trying to bleed my clutch for a couple of weeks now. i've grown exhausted and need help badly with a new kid here now. here is my problem. so i replaced my clutch and decided to do a ss clutch line at the same time. so after all was said and done i went to bleed my system and sure enough it wont bleed. got a new vacuum bleeder and still wont bleed. new slave cylinder. still wont bleed. checked all the lines and they are free and clear. the one thing that is really strange is when i pull the metal hard line from the master cylinder to the ss clutch line it pumps fluid out. when i pull the ss clutch line from the slave cylinder i see no fluid. i've run fluid through the new clutch line so i know its ok. doesnt seem to be any kinks or clogs anywhere. i need serious help here. if i cant get it to bleed by tonight i think i'll just break down and take it to the closest shop.

so what isn't working? you said you had fluid coming out of the new line, then you said there was no fluid in the slave cyl. it seems like you might just be doing it wrong. works best to do this with two people. one to work the pedal and the other to manipulate the bleeder valve. I've done this 3 times in the past year including when i put on my SS clutch line, and no problems whatsoever. do you have leaks?
