Howdy!
First off, I have a 86 2dr Chief with the V6-5sp package 186,xxx miles. Well, like all of them the clutch master was leaking so I replaced it. I'll deal with the electrical problems when I can get the thing to move again. The slave cyl was leaking too, so I rebuilt that too. I bled the system like it says in the Haynes and the FSM. Seemed pretty normal til I put it all back together again. The pedal was rock hard, and still no clutch action. Took the whole thing down and re did it. I thought maybe it was a problem in the clutch itself, but when I was bleeding it again I had the same problem come up. Bled all the bubbles out, had the slave cylinder compressed like it says to, had pretty good pedal, then gave it one more pump and it got hard as a rock. So I am ruling out a problem with the clutch itself. What am I doing wrong? If I loosen the bleed screw I get a couple of pumps, then the pedal gets rock hard again like the master is siezing. I am in a really tight spot since this is my daily driver.
Thanks
