    I CAN NOT bleed my hydraulic clutch, help its cold.

    So, I have a 98 2.5GT Legacy with a swapped 5MT Out of a Legacy 2.5GT Sedan. It has a brand new clutch master, hose, and slave cylinder. Everything is tight, and the hardware is all new.

    It won't bleed, when I went to swap it, there was no pressure. After replacing all the components, and two days of hours upon hours of fighting with it, (as janky as it sounds) I removed the cylinder in the slave cylinder, poured fluid into it, and have been driving it. Until today. It's borderline -5f here and I have zero clutch pressure.

    Can anyone run me through a fool proof way to bleed this thing? I've tried everything, and yes I've done the forum hopping and Google searching.

    Vacuum pump?

    Its udually pretty difficult to rid all new components of air at the initial bleeding process, good luck

    A vacuum bleeder was used initially.

    I'm going to give it another shot tomorrow.

    You can try bench bleeding the slave cylinder first. This greatly reduces the time it took to bleed my master cylinder when I replaced it on my other car when the vacuum method didn't get all of the air out. Basically with a short length of clear vinyl tubing, attached from the outlet nipple to the reservoir, you bleed it until there are no bubbles. Then attach it to the clutch system and bleed like normal.
