slave cylinder

[mugs3152]

Need help, replaced master cylinder on a 88 feiro can not get slave cylinder to bleed and have pressure on the clutch pedal to get in to gears.master cylinder in new has good pressere blew out line from master cyl to slave cyl ... NOT CLOGGED, must be slave cyl. When slave cyl is full of fluid does the push rod come out and push into trans and disengage clutch??? know nothing about hyd clutches let alone slave cylinders... How do i tell if the slave cyl is bad and needs rebuilt or replaced thanks......

if its leaking its bad, if its not moveing its bad, if its moveing you have a problem inside trany on throwout fork.have some one push clutch pedal while you sre watching slave cyl. you should be able to see it move.
i had trouble bleeding mine and found the old ways to work best, put a peace of clear hose, available at most hardware stores, on bleeder and run it down below engine to a clear glass bottle open top of master cyl. and keep it full, open bleeder screw on slave, i put a small pint bottle of brake fuid near master so i could keep filling res. as i watched bottle fill with fluid. if you run entire pint threw cyl and see no bubbles in the bottle then you have gravity bleed and flushed system at the same time.
you may have to have someone push clutch to the floor then open bleeder on slave to get the prosess started but once you start it keep an eye on the res. and the bottle for bubbles.
