I give up. I've run a quart of DOT 3 through the system and now I have no clutch at all. Air seems to be getting into the system but it isn't leaking anywhere. The fluid level in the reservoir doesn't change. Is it possible I destroyed my slave cylinder when I filled it with DOT 5? When I put the syringe on the bleeder fitting, I can pull air along with the fluid forever. Mike, I'm inclined to agree that I don't have enough travel with my new "long-throw" pressure plate. Is it possible to change the slave to one with a longer travel without changing the master or would I need a master with longer travel as well? This is bumming me out. I'd much rather be cruising that slinging DOT 3 all over my garage. And it tastes pretty bad too.
