I have a 94sc with a new clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. The clutch pedal intermittently has about an inch of freeplay, but after I drive long distance on the highway, there is no freeplay at all. I'm thinking that the clutch needs to be bled, but I've bled the crap out of it. Just wondering if i'm doing somthing wrong. Anyone have any secrets or can offer advice on the best way to bleed the clutch.
 
I'm interested in knowing this also. Got a brand new slave cylinder that I'm waiting to put on....
 
Im having a hell of a time doing mine too. i was told by a guy at a tranny shop the best way to bleed is to
1. pump pump pump, about 20-30 times
2. push pedal to floor, then crack bleeder screw
3. let fluid pass and close bleeder screw
4. then pump pump pump
when it is finally completely bled, you should see a constant stream of fluid escape through the bleeder.
apparently these things are a real pain and i think everyone who owns one knows this is true.
i think im just gonna give up and take it in to get it professionaly pressure bled.
