ZF swap completed!
lately i have been tying up loose ends on my auto -> manual conversion and top of the list today is the clutch hydraulics.
the master and slave i have are second hand, meaning they came from a donor vehicle. i have no idea if they were properly bled when i picked them up or not. i followed the ford instructions for bench bleeding, which was disconnecting the slave, making sure the master was full, and setting the hose in the end of a bucket of brake fluid.
the slave i just held at an angle and filled with fluid, then rocked the pushrod back and forth to work out any bubbles.
the problem is that i still cannot get ANY pedal pressure... i mash the clutch in and it stays down, no funny sounds, no nothing. i have never serviced an external slave before but im pretty sure that is not correct operation.
any pointers to help me get pressure?
