Hey guys,
I came home from college and my dad had started putting some hours into my T-Bird while I was away at school, so since I have been home we have been doing some power wrenching out in the frozen garage. But come to find out that he unscrewed the bleeder on the drivers side of the tranny case for the clutch and all the fluid has drained and now the whole hydraulic clutch assembly is totally dry.
So my question is, since the Haynes manual doesn't list anything, is that is there any tricks to get fluid into that assembly so that it seems that we are actually bleeding something, right now the pedal goes all the way to the floor like the master cylinder rod isn't even attached to the pedal, but it actually is.
Tony mentioned that I should pull of the master cylinder to the slave cylinder line down by the tranny, to try and help some movement, we did it and really nothing happened, and now I am all confused!!
So as we sit we have a full master cylinder resoirvor full of DOT 3 fluid and none of it is dropping in level with a pedal that has no modulation what so ever!! Any help is much appreciated and thanks for your time guys!!
See Ya,
Brandon
