T-56 Hydraulic System help!

Alright, checked the fluid in the clutch reservoir, it was basically black or grey in color. Really dirty. Took the plastic thing off, cleaned it out with soap and water and basically let all the fluid out of the slave and the master. Went and put it back on, and put fluid in it. Press the clutch and the fluid went nowhere, its like its either stopped up or a bad master. Any info would help. Even left the lid off the master, and opened the slave and the fluid still stayed there. Thanks

I would bleed it with a Mighty Vac to get the air out first.

Once you drain the master, it has to be bench bled, as noted above. Otherwise you can pump it for days with no effect.

i diid the bench bleeding. from what i was told, you take it out, open the slave end with a screw driver, keep fluid in the reservoir and pump the master until you cant do it by hand or there's no bubbles. Correct? then what about an empty slave?
