Post-War Other Hattie the Herald, again.

[Trevor Triumph]

We pulled the engine and replaced the clutch, fly wheel, throw out bearing. Still when I push the clutch pedal nothing seems to move. The Spitfires have sme movement in the slave cylinder mount. I have not bled the system again. I did not disconnect the slave a from the master cylinder, and both cylinders are new from the store. I wonder what I missed?

T.T.

Did you get fluid flow at the slave when you bled it? Did you use a vacuum bleeder? If not, try loosening the nut on the master cylinder while someone depresses the clutch. repeat until you get fluid there. You could also try loosening the bleed screw on the slave with a pan underneath and wait for a drip from gravity. Then bleed normally, if necessary.

I agree a thorough bleed is in order but...

...both cylinders are new from the store. I wonder what I missed?

Just because a part (such as a MC) is new is not an absolute assurance that it is working as it should.

Thanks, I'll bleed the system again. Stay tuned.
