New Clutch Slave, Pedal Stays On Floor
Rebuilt engine with fresh Sachs clutch kit installed in car, but gearshift not yet connected to trans (have not yet started car).
Before I re-installed my engine, I replaced the clutch slave and, as I held the slave just below the level of the brake fluid reservoir…I bled the system by feeding brake fluid through the slave’s bleeder valve until the fluid level came up in the reservoir. Only noticed a few bubbles during this process…not nearly what I’d expected.
With my engine back in the car, and the clutch slave installed…the clutch pedal now goes to floor and stays there - but I only have to lift the pedal slightly before it springs back up (indicating that clutch return spring is fine).
My assumption is that my efforts at bleeding the slave cylinder created a bubble in the master cylinder - and that I need to re-bleed, and possibly re-think my bleeding process. Sound about right? Any suggestions? Thanks!
