when you bleed it out of the trans you have to keep the piston from moving otherwise the piston will just pop out the end, theres not a stop in there

[DrJosh]

Yeah I learned that the hard way, thanks. Is there a way to fix this or is it just junk now? It does not want to stay back in even though there is no more fluid in it.

Hey drjosh it can be popped back in, done in before and its still goin strong years later

Some times you can just push it back in and it will stay. If the rod doesn't stay in and the boot is folded over it will probably start leaking sooner than later. when you first start to bleed the slave and it isn't in the transmission make sure the pedal is up all the way and just open the valve on the bottom and let the gravity bleed most of it for you. You will probably have to install it in the trans and then pump the pedal to see if air is in the master. Email me if you get stuck.

Thanks guys. Its just not wanting to stay in. The boot it self feels like its full of pressure. I think it would be a better bet to just buy a new one.

Is the bleeder valve supposed to be pointed up or down...or does it not matter? Aside from the fact that if it were pointed up, it would make it really difficult to bleed the slave cylinder....

[DaveSmed]

Down. There is an internal passage that draws from the top of the cylinder when the bleeder is pointing down to make it easy to bleed with it installed.

I have no idea who is having difficulty bleeding theirs mounted to the trans.... Rigging a way to hold the piston in place sounds like more work.
