No clutch pedal, can't get NV4500 into gear

Pushing air down when bleeding brakes too

[dripley]

I replaced my slave a good while back. It also had the bleeder screw on it. I filled the slave and reconnected it. Two or three pumps and it was fine.

 

I did my master a long time ago. I was totally ignorant of this sealed system. I filled it and hooked it up though I lost a fair amount of the fluid. Not knowing how to bleed it I just drove it. Really had to pump it to use the clutch but over a little more than a week all the air worked its way out and has been fine since.

This is true... But...

 

There is some mild differences. Volume of fluid moved by the master be it brake or clutch I'm sure the clutch moves less volume and pressure compared to brake master cylinder. Also the hydraulic lines on brakes are smaller in ID diameter and made of steel to handle high pressures where the clutch is slightly larger and made of plastic so air bubbles don't flow as well.

 

I ran into this same issue on a Chevy 6.5L diesel and bleeding the clutch and it was a PITA to do. The air refused to travel downward.
