Re: clutch cylinder

My '93 clutch master cylinder bleeds internally, it just takes quite a few pumps on the pedal for complete bleeding. I filled the clutch slave with fluid and bled what air I could befor installation. I then filled the master cylinder and put the cap on and pumped the pedal by hand until I got it to return by itself-pressure in the system. I topped off the fluid level for about a week afterwards. The next morning I had very little clutch pedal for the first few pumps but good pedal ever since.

As a footnote, I was replacing the Raybestos slave cylinder I installed a few months ago. The clip never did engage the bellhousing right and the cylinder would bsck off after a few engagements of the clutch. It was binding and causing a hard pedal. I ended up getting a slave from Ford-same manufacturer-AP, but the cylinder was larger than the Raybestos and the clip engaged the first time.
