I have a '95 Z28 that I jus recenty installed a Mcleod Street Twin Clutch... I've added the Mcleod Master Cylinder but I want to make sure that I properly bleed it before use...

How do I do this...

When I pump the cylinder I do get air coming out and do notice the fluid level decreasing slightly but should I continue to do this until fluid begins coming out or what...

Sorry...but I'm just learning...

Just hold the slave cylinder down lower than the master cylinder and slowly pump the slave cylinder. Should get most of the air out. Re-install the slave cylinder, and slowly pump the petal. Did
you drill out the restrictor in the line? makes a world of difference.
Take your line apart, and run a drill bit thru the top part, there is a restrictor there. Then flush you line out. the Mcleode dual disc is fairly harsh upon engagement until it gets broke in. Then the petal will feel almost like stock after it gets broke in. Take the time to drill out the restrictor.

Ok...

the Master is in and hooked to the fluid resivoir as well as to the slave cylinder...The slave cylinder is off of the tranny...

Now...just pump the slave to relieve air out of the system...

DO I Continue to do this until fluid begins running out of the slave?

Thanks...

Again...(shadetree at work)

Just gently pump the shaft on the slave cylinder, have someone watch the fluid resevoir for bubbles. When you don't see anymore bubbles, your done. Connect slave cylinder to tranny, then sit in car, and gently pump the petal. If no air bubbles come out, you are done.

what is this about a restrictor in the line?? Is this on the stock master cylinder?
