slave cylinder issue

Oh ok. Well workin on it now. At 1st fluid was coming out when we opened valve (Had pedal down) then later fluid just stopped coming out. Were not supposed to also keep clutch down when we refill Res. Right? I mean u wouldnt do that normally when u put some in and I kinda assume it would shoot out the Res. Also I use dot 3 fluid right?

I don't see what the difference would be doing it pedal down or pedal up re filling it as long as the bleeder screw is tight. and yes use dot 3 brake fluid. it should say right on the res cap. I used dot 3 brake fluid that cost an arm and a leg, but I only put top of the line on or in my vehicles, and I always use mid to hi octane gas.

i guess ur supposed to hold pedal down and then open bleeder, close it and pump. i never did get any pressure in the pedal. i really hope the issue lies in my retarded bleeding skills and not something tranny related. im gonna get the truck towed to a shop down the street and c if they can get it goin when i have money again..possibly next week. once thats done i can attack my plenum gasket issue. crossing fingers that my engine doesnt blow up before i can get that fixed. im debating trying to do it myself as PA shops charge something like 8 hrs at 100ish an hour to do it. but i also dont want to kill myself with frustration. im hoping i find someone around my area that can give me a hand for less than a shop!

And from what I gathered, u are bleeding it correctly. Pump and then hold, open bleeder, close bleeder, release, repeat.
