clutch line install: need help asap pls!
Hey guys,
I'm in the middle of my clutch line install. Got the new clutch line hooked up finally, but now that i'm ready to bleed to clutch, I'm getting no feedback whatsoever on the clutch pedal. It just goes straight to the floor and back up. I lost a good amount of brake fluid while swapping the lines. Am I screwed cause air may have gotten into the master cylinder while I was swapping the lines? Thanks in advance.

Im sure you did get some in there but ur not screwed. If u are alone, fill ur resevour and press the pedal to the floor and block it, open the bleeder screw-close it and repeat till u get some flow. If u have help do the same thing, but ur "help" will be the "block"
After u get flow just let gravity do its thing will u tap the Slave cyl ( To dislodge bubbles ) after u get some pedal pump the hell out of it and open the bleeder-close it and repeat-repeat repeat. After things start to work , take it for a short ride and open the bleeder again when u get back. pump,pump,pump and open the bleeder again.
That will get u close

hmmm ok the resevour has been filled for a while. There is no resistance for the clutch pedal to go in or out. What do you mean by "blocking" i'm not really sure, could you clarify? Should I leave the clutch pedal depressed and try to open the bleeder till more fluid comes out?

One thing I noticed after driving around for a bit is that the clutch feels a lot more stickier than before. By "Sticky" I mean it feels like when your letting up the clutch, it doesn't give constant pressure against your foot the whole time. At certain points, it'll get caught very briefly, kinda like if the clutch pedal wasn't lubed or something.
