Not sure if you have said (I may have missed it) but what brand of cylinder are you using? I will only use TRW/Lucas as I have had such poor experiences with other brands and even then they last a few years rather than the decades the originals did.
Thanks for your help! I've ordered new master and slave. Yes I am thinking the ones I have, which are cast iron, may be an issue. Also found some leaking at base of slave by push rod that I didn't notice before (it is new cast iron also). LOL
Okay here it is: bench bled master, replaced slave, reverse bled system with V5 system, power bled system while also pump bleeding. just tried test with flex line clamped shut. Pedal goes down to floor but can be pumped up enough to shift, but loses it fast. Is there some other test I can use to check the clutch master?
Nothing is leaking. I replaced the slave, but used the new master again because it looked better made than the cast iron one I tried earlier. It is a Proline which was purchased from Rovers North in Vermont.
After all that bleeding it still went down slowly to the floor with your flex line test (clamped off). So, I realized I am still using the master (even though it looked better) that failed the flex line test. Now I have gone ahead and ordered a TRW clutch master which will be here next Tuesday. Here in Leavenworth,Washington state in the Cascade Mountains we just got our first freeze last night! Thanks for sticking with me. Let's hope this will do the job.
