I recently replaced the clutch master cylinder in my car because it had very little pedal pressure and was leaking some fluid under the dash. I did not bench bleed the new master cyl, I just bled the whole system at the slave cyl.
Two days after replacing it, the transmission started to grind when selecting a gear so I bled the system again and it was good for a few more days. On the way to class this morning everything was fine then I left for lunch. Now I can hardly get it into gear and there is a awful grinding when selecting gears. If i shut the car off it shifts fine, if I start it in gear with the clutch in the car lurches forward.
I've read as many threads as I could about bench bleeding but never got a straight answer. I'm just wondering if the proper way is to bench bleed it first or could I just power bleed from the slave?
