Broken_Wankel Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 '00 LS1/t-56 with '01+ slave cylinder and wilwood master Okay, I can't get the clutch to engage. The clutch pedal only goes down a few inches, then stops due to pressure buildup. I am almost 100% certain that the master cylinder is free from any air, and I believe it's a slave cylinder problem. I've tried bleeding the slave by opening the bleed screw, with the clutch pedal down as far as it will go. Once I get fluid coming out of the bleed screw, I close it, and have the clutch pedal released. Alas, the pedal will still only go a few inches than stops from pressure buildup. As for the master, I've bleed that using a mity-vac. I also popped the hydraulic line off the slave and put a screw driver to the hose end and had fluid freely flowing out. So, I once again, I believe it to be a slave problem, and I think it's due to improper bleeding technic. I've done a clutch swap with the same drive line in my previous car (which is when I put the '01 slave in), and I never had this problem... Any help would be greatly appreciated...this is the only damn thing keeping my car off the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Make sure that the clutch fork will move with moderate pressure(pry bar method).. Try un-bolting the slave and holding it by hand, and see if the pressure still builds up. If not, the issue is in the clutch. If so the slave is a issue!

Broken_Wankel Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 No clutch fork with the ls1/t-56, and the slave is in the bellhousing of the tranny. Only way to get to is by taking the transmission off. I know the clutch is good though. It working perfectly fine before I pulled the engine and tranny out of the my Camaro. I think I just improperly bleed the slave...or gave up to soon. I'll try the same method tomarrow that I used today, but just a little more. Hopefully it'll work...

Broken_Wankel Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Okay, she's moving now. I still have to torque down a number of bolts before I can take her around the block though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
