So here's the story-

I bought my car about a year ago. The day I bought it the clutch went to the floor and didn't disengage the engine. The dealer replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders to fix the problem, which seems to be the normal fix for this problem. Since then, usually it has been fine, but it would do it again occasionally. I need to bleed it to get it working again. Lately, it has really been acting up a lot and I can't figure out what's really wrong. Is there a leak somewhere in the system? I have been trying to bleed the clutch tonight without any success (seems to be taking a really long time : ). I did notice in the system that there was a blot going through a box that wasn't tight- no nut holding it in (picture below). Could that have anything to do with it? It doesn't look like anything is in the hole, but I don't know why it would be loose....

Any ideas?

Isn't that the bolt that secures it to the bracket?

My thoughts as well.

If your still losing fluid after the new master/slave was installed, then you need to look at replacing the lines.

do what f550 said. sometimes it takes a while to bleed the clutch. just keep pumping

Ok, I got it working for now, but I did get a SS line to (hopefully) fix it once and for all. I am a little confused on how to install it. I came with a bolt that almost looks like it replaces the bleed valve on the slave, but it isn't really a bleed valve. Also, the two ends seem to be different sized- rite? What tools do I need a where does each end go in. Can't seem to find pics of the SS one installed.

Its not worth it to yell at them- it was almost a year ago and they are a ways away- I'm not going to worry about it. But I am trying to changes the line- see above post- trying to figure out how to install it.
