I just installed a whole new clutch master/slave cylinder and lines and i am going through bleeding now.

I have done the clutch pedal pump 5 times and hold on 5th, open bleeder, etc process about 10 times now and my clutch pedal still has not come back up on its own (no pressure)

What am i doing wrong? PLEASE HELP!

I actually am using that procedure as stated in my OP. still not working after many many many repeats

 

the trick is to do it quickly one after another

 

Did you bench bleed the master cylinder before installing? Try vacuum bleeding if pumping isn't working out for you.

Also, once you open the beeder, the pedal isn't exactly going to come back up on it's own. Does it work after you pop the pedal back up?

 

Vacuum bleeding was no help for me. What helped me was pulling the pedal up all of the way manually, then tugging on it some more and holding it for a few seconds before pumping again. Also adjust the master cylinder rod so that you are maximizing the travel of the master cylinder piston.

 

fsm states not to use a vacuum bleder
