I have just changed all the flexible hydraulic lines in my clutch and brake system on my BJ-8 trying to get ready for our first road trip of the year. I also replaced the master and slave cylinder on the clutch side. I have bled the brakes with no problem but when I bled the clutch, I am getting what appears to be black, dirty fluid out of the slave cylinder. I have flushed the system with nearly 3 pints of new fluid but it still looks like it has come from somewhere with badly deteriorated rubber seals or flex line. I have let the fluid that I extracted sit for a couple of hours and I do not notice anything settling out. Has anyone had this type of problem with new components? I guess I could have gotten an old component that had the rubber already bad, but am at a loss on what to try next besides try to replace one or all of them again. The fluid was not discolored when I broke the system down so I do not suspect a corroded steel line. Any ideas???
