    No fluid bleeding from slave cylinder?

    My clutch works fine, pedal works fine as well. I just decided to bleed the slave cylinder one day just for fun. I cracked open the bleeder screw and NO fluid came out, even with the clutch pedal fully depressed. I even took the bleeder screw out completely but still no fluid. Is there something wrong with my slave cylinder? Again, my clutch and pedal work great, no fluid leaks from master or slave cylinder and lines.

    It's plugged.

    I had that happen to some brake calipers. I pulled the bleeder screw completely out and jambed the brakes as hard as my thunder thighs would allow, but no dice.

    If it works, leave it alone. If it bothers you, replace it.

      Well take the bleeder screw out, and stick a sewing needle in the hole in a sexual manner... I'm sure the little bit of rust particles will come out just fine :)
