Hi, I pump the clutch pedal a few times and bled the slave cylinder outlet. Gear then shifted well. vehicle stood a couple days and the same problem came back. Bled again and the problem temporally went away again. Found that transmission fuel had a lot of suspension black particles. Cleaned the reservoir and bled the line again and the problem went away temporarily. So, I take the slave out and drained the line until clean fuel came out. Replaced with a new slave and pumped the clutch. Could not bring back fluid pressure. Then replaced the clutch master cylinder but also could not bring back fluid pressure. Please suggest what was wrong.

Hi,

I'm questioning if there is an internal issue with the release fork. Do me a favor. Read through the directions below related to bleeding the system and let me know if you may have missed anything.

Also, check to make sure the slave is moving and properly engaged with the release fork.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
