Clutch problem
Hi Jim, I adjusted rod for proper free play also tried all areas and still not get proper presure. The most I can get out of the pedal is pressure half way to the floor. Still has lots of play at the top. Now if I was getting enough pressure in the system and even if the fork was bent. Wouldn't it blow piston out of the rear of slave? Slave is up against the fork.
Thanks
Thanks
Slave has a weak spring inside, so it pushes itself out against the fork. It acts like there's still some air hanging out in the system, and it's very tempting to say that's probably in the master cylinder.
I wish I had a better idea. I have a nagging thought that if I were looking at it firsthand something profound would come to mind...

I will get another mc this time from carquest. Suppose to be OEM. Hope this does it. I might also change of slave again. I'm still tempting to go to wrecking yard and pull a damper. I still have been able to find research how its set up and maybe possinle leak internal and not seeing fiild outside the unit.
If you're gonna remove anything, try bench-bleeding the master.
Fasten the MC somewhere like a workbench. Find a rubber tube you can stick in the tube-fitting of the master, loop it up so it squirts back into the reservoir. Pump it repeatedly, circulating the fluid back through the reservoir. You're pumping the fluid around & working any air bubbles out.
When you install the MC, attach the tube fitting quickly before much leaks out. It'll be messy, so have some rags around it.
That's recommended whenever you install a new master cylinder (brakes or clutch). But I've found that pumping & bleeding repeatedly I can work the air out anyway (done that before I learned about bench-bleeding).

When replacing the mc, it's best first as soon as you attach the reservoir hose and the master cylinder to have someone pump the clutch as you squeeze all of the air of the reservoir hose. Air loves getting trapped in there and won't allow fluid to fall into the master cylinder. When you do it you will see air bubbles fly up and out of the top of the reservoir.
This could have been your issue all along.
