New hydraulics didn't brake plastic strap on slave????

Is the strap holding the slave compressed suppose to brake on the first push of the clutch? I installed all new hydraulics because I am having disengagment problems w/ my new clutch setup and went to unbolt the slave after testing (didnt help at all btw) and noticed the plastic straps were still connected, so I cut them.

Does this mean anything about what my problem could be?

It means you need to bleed the hydraulics....a search will bring up a how to.

Mine broke the first time I pressed the pedal. I have seen at least one other post saying that they didn't break. I don't think it makes any difference. The straps aren't strong enough to hold the slave piston back even it they don't break.
