I left the clutch slave dangling when I pulled the old engine out. Probably aren't supposed to do that but I never found info to the contrary either.
Got it on new engine, the plastic has some play in it so it doesnt line straight up with the clutch fork but I got it on.
Last night I sat there and pumped the pedal a good hundred times at least, it came all the way up a couple times on its own, the rest were about half. It was enough to drive so I took her out on two separate loops and the engine did great, every time I shifted though I either had to toe-up the pedal or it would come up halfway then clunk-up the rest. So I bring her home and park it nose down on the driveway (slight incline).
Today I go out there and I can't even get enough to shift except in reverse. So I tried pumping by hand until my damn arms got tired.
I tried pumping from the slave by pushing the fork INTO it. That made some bubbly noise but made the pedal much worse.
So then I tried the "DOT-3 brake fluid shower", open the bleeder, squeeze the slave, close, release the slave, repeat. Now I have to PULL the pedal from the floor and it feels like I'm fighting suction or something . I hear air in the master when I stick my head by the pedals. I still have the plastic bushing on the rod too.
Help is very appreciated. Apparently I can swap an engine but not bleed a clutch
Master is full up on fluid
