swap issues, Clutch related Options

[bccentaur3]

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of a 2nd gen 3sgte swap. I installed the stage 4 competition clutch with my factory s54 tranny. I'm am not done with the swap yet, but the motor is in. When I push down on the clutch pedal it just drops right to the ground. It won't spring back. Did I do something wrong? WHat can I do to solve this issue? And when I look at the clutch cylinder it doesn't move.

Yeah, I would flush the entire system clear of the old and dirty fluid cause it might cause premature failure of your master/slave cylinders. Then buy a new brake fluid and fill and bleed again. The bleeding is not that hard, the main thing is to get a hose that fits over the slave cylinder nipple tightly so as not to allow any air in. Next is to dip the other end of that hose into a brake fluid-filled jar again making sure not to allow any air to enter from that end also. Then the rest is basically having a help pump and hold the pedal till you open and close the slave cylinder valve(nipple). Do this several times till no air bubbles come out and pedal feel right.
hope this helps. good luck with the swap.
