    ok can anyone help with some info...

    did a manual conversion on my car and it does not seem to make a difference how much i bleed the clutch, the pedal wont build up any resistance and the slave does not appear to be moving.

    so the question is.. will it be the master cylender or the slave.


    if anyone has any suggestions to help me work this out it would be greatly appreciated.

    have you bled the clutch master cylinder?

    and what about the factory bleed point down near where tt hicas is normally situated?

    Probably still air in the lines. How is it piped up? Have you got all the stock lines including the bleed line near the headlight?

    Can be hard to bleed with a single line. Get a vacuum bleeder, makes it a lot easier.

    when you say have i bled the master cylender, we bled the system from the slave cylender and the bleeder point near where the hicas used to be. is there any other

    nah mine is not the same, no bleed on the master anywhere.

    back to square one, methinks i should take the slave off and check if it all works ok

    Are you sure about that?? There should be 2 lines coming off the master cylinder and a bleed nipple... How are your lines setup?

    line going from master then splits into two one goes to the slave and one to the bleed point near the hicas

    Only some of the master's have bleed nipples. NA's seem to have them most of the time, TT's mostly not.

    suck the fluid through a clear hose through your from bleed point. you will get an air lock at the tee block

    Loosen the flare nut at the master to bleed the master.
