Alright my slave went out about a week and a half ago.
I got it home with the help of mike and I starting to take it apart I got a new clutch master and slave also a new throw out bearing because I was going to swap my clutch so I pulled my tranny off and swapped my parts and when I tried to put it into gear it just wouldn't go I tried bleeding the clutch with ed's help and still no pressure so I took the tranny off again and shimmed my pivot ball and resurfaced my flywheel and installed it as well as installed my clutch again and pressure plate (act 2600) and torqued them perfect to spec. Put the tranny back on and it went into gear and drove but I hear this grinding noise from the tranny so I got more oil and filled it up and I hear less grinding. But when i put oil into the tranny I had a very big loss in pressure in my clutch petal. So I went to bleed it and I unscrewed the bleed screw with a vacuum hose in a bottle of dot 3 so no air gets in And it loss all pressure. All the fluid Is still in the master clutch and I have no leaks my slave doesn't move at all it's rock solid.
So could my throw out bearing be stuck to my pressure plate?
Or is it something else?
I need help it's my daily driver and I have work and school to attend. What do you guys think and have you ever heard of this before?
Thanks
Andrew
 
Here's some useful Info homie


"the clutch slave has the bleed screw on it. it usually has a little rubber dust cap, but yours may be long gone. you crack it open only about a half turn, then depress the clutch pedal, and then pull it back up. the trick is to make the bleed line coming off of the bleed screw go up, then down into your receptacle. i take an old empty can of brake fluid, make a hole in the cap, and run my line(a clear line is best, so you can see the fluid coming out) into the cap. once you crack the bleed screw, you can loosen it with your fingers. it is an easy one person job, just make sure your resevoir doesnt empty. if you have difficulty, then you need another person to help. what you do, is tell them to step on the pedal, and hold it when it goes down, dont release it until you say. then, you loosen the bleed screw, when the pedal is all the way down, tighten up the bleed screw, and pull the pedal back up top. repeat a couple of times, and the system should be bled. i bleed my brakes and clutch all the time, and i never use the speed bleeders, just the line, and make sure it goes up, so when you release the pedal, no air goes backwards, only fluid."


here's Another good one for you

"Don't forget another really nice trick when bleeding a clutch slave cylinder. When you are done with the process of pumping the pedal and cracking the bleeder screw, try this. Get a hold of the slave rod, crack the bleeder and manually push the rod as far as it will go into the cylinder and then close the bleeder. It gets the air out that the pedal can't."
 
That exactly what me an Ed did
But now I have Bo pressure at all it just falls to the floor I tried adjusting the rod under the clutch petal to get more motion in my slave and nothing but it has fluid the master clutch is toped off with dot 3 so idk what's happening to my car
 
I don't think it's anything to do with bleeding could a throw out bearing get stuck to the pressure plate ?
 
it is possible that someone "adjusted your clutch pedal" way too far. Now that you have a new slave in you should adjust it to make sure your not pressuing your pressure plate too far.
