I have no pressure at all. Not an air issue, have replaced the master and the slave and bled the system. . What now???

I rebuilt the Master cylinder, that didnt fit it. Replaced master with a new one, no fix. Replaced the Slave Cylinder, still no pressure!! Yes, I have bled the system, and after an hour of pumping and bleeding, still nothing. Any thoughts?

This is a very difficult system to bleed due to the angle of the master cylinder mounting. Start by positioning the m/cyl on the handlebar where it is level with the ground. Remove the line from the m/cly and use your finger as a bleed screw to bleed the m/cyl first. Cover the hole while pumping, hold lever and release finger to release pressure, recover hole before releasing lever just as tightening a bleed screw. Repeat untill good pressure is achieved. Cap and reposition m/cyl in the threaded hole up position so as not to loose the fluid. Reinstall hose. Move to banjo bolt at slave cylinder and continue bleeding using banjo bolt as bleeder location. Finally move to normal bleed screw to insure all air is out of system. This procedure will work provided the clutch itself has not been dissassembled and reassembled improperly. Good luck!

SOURCE: rebuilt the front calipers and

then you have a leaking seal in the rebuilt caliper or a collasped brake or kinked hose that will not allow pressure to flow through it

Master cylinder problems

The problem is that there is still air in the system. You will need a friend to pump the cylinder while you work the bleed screw. You may have to loosen the line at the master cylinder to allow the cylinder to prime up . But what ever you still have air in the system

Piston on new slave cylinder not moving

Gravity will not bleed the system as you need pressure in the master cylinder to bleed out the air. Once you have pressure bled the system you will have a good clutch

Replaced clutch then it seemed like there wasnt enough pressure to release it so i have since replaced the slave cylinder no differance so i took a C clamp and worked it in place of the slave cylinder and...

These and Blazers were notoriously hard to bleed the air out of the system. I actually had to make up a clutch reservoir cap with a nipple on the top so I could hook it up to a vacuum pump. With the system full, try to attach a vacuum pump (hand operated one works fine) over top of the reservoir, or if need be to the feed line to the master cylinder. Apply vacuum until you can see fluid, soon you should see bubbles in the line. Maintain constant vacuum until all air is gone the system should be fully functional after that.

The clutch pedal sticks to the floor and does not come back up. We changed the Master Cylinder and it's still doing the same thing. I think it might be the Slave Cylinder but im not sure...how do i check...

check the slave if its leaking fluid. take off the bellows boot. if fluid leaks out, its bad. Pressure from the system usually pushes the pedal back up unless you dont have all the air bled out of the system.

I have lost my clutch on my 82 magna . I replaced the seals in the slave cylinder and replaced the complete piston system in the master cylinder. still no pressure resistance in the handle. I've bled...

Loosen the bolt going into the master cylinder just enough to allow brake fluid to come out when you pump the lever. Retighten the master cylinder bolt. Once you have the master cylinder bled the rest of the system will be easy.

Clutch pedal goes to floor no preasure filled and bled slave cyl same result

Hi:
If you have bled the system, you are down to either having a bad clutch master cylinder, or a bad clutch slave cylinder. You could eliminate the slave cylinder by removing the line and capping it off, and if you have a firm pressure on the clutch pedal ( don;'t try to push it down, just check for pressure!) then your slave cylinder is bad. If you cap off the line, and bleed the system, and the pedal still has no pressure, then your clutch master cylinder is bad!
