Rep Power: 0 Not the usual Clutch problem
I put in a new clutch and pressure plate on my 2001 Civic EX and i am now having problems with the clutch pedal. I tried multiple bleeding methods and the pedal stays down. I took a look at the line and I see no leaks, anywhere. I also replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders with no change in pedal pressure. I tried the vacuum bleed method, the bottle with fluid and hose method etc etc.. I am getting no pressure whatsoever and I am stumped! Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Re: Not the usual Clutch problem
"they" say it can be done with proper bleeding proceedures... but i struggled for hours with no luck.
Easiest way I found, ends up taking 10 minutes from completely dry by using a fluid sucker ( I have one similar to this http://www.chain-auto-tools.com/pics...PARTS_NAME.jpg )
Manually fill fluid into the system as you would usually while bleeding, and continue to bleed until fluid comes from the master cylinder.
Install the fluid sucker to the closed nipple at the master cylinder and pump the sucker.
Crack the bleeder valve for a few seconds while the back pressure from the sucker pulls the fluid through.
Close the bleeder and go back into the vehicle and pump the pedal approximately 10 times.
Repeat pumping sucker and cracking bleeder as required.
Took me 3 times, and the clutch pedal had never been so tight
