Hello, I just did the CDV removal on MY06 S2000 and am having no luck building clutch pressure? I've tried following several "how to clutch fluid bleeds" but can't seem to build any pressure. So I took the slave solenoid back off to make sure it was aligned to the ball joint on the transmission and noticed the cup joint on the the transmission was compressed flush... is that my problem? How long should it take to build pressure in the line, because I am only hearing air come out when I release the bleed valve with the pedal down and no fluid comes out??? Please help

You need to pressure bleed it because bleeding it manually will take forever. A shop should be able to help you with pressure bleeder.

ok I just rode down to my local Kragen parts store and bought a hand vacuum pump bleed kit... wish me luck!

so far no luck I connected the hand vacuum to the bleed valve , opened it pumped forever and still no fluid coming out just air??? Its sucking air but no fluid, and the reservoir is still topped off. If the ball to the slave solenoid is misaligned would this cause no fluid to bleed? I'm running out of options?

still nothing what am I doing wrong?

welp... no luck having my car towed to the shop first thing 2morrow

The fluid level isnt changing at all when your bleeding it?

clzay

no fluid change what so ever!

try sealing everything up and pumping the pedal if the fluid doesnt change then you have some clot in the system. At worst case senerio fluid should be flowing somewhere. take off the slave cylinder if that doesnt work and pull the cylinder back apart the Fluid level should change or its clogged somewhere.

thanks I tried pumping the clutch till I was blue in the face with everything tight there was no change in the fluid level. And then I purchased the vacuum pump and pumped that till my hand was sore... And still nothing. So where could this clog be? With the slave cylinder off should fluid be draining from the hose that connects to the cylinder with the banjo bolt if its just hanging there? Cause no more fluid is coming out after the initial release.
