    Clutch master cylinder binding/clicking issue

    The shop that did the swap on my 323i installed a new generic clutch master cylinder and installed the plastic elbow backwards and it broke. I installed a new hose/elbow and reused the clutch master cylinder. After installation, I now have a clicking noise when the clutch is depressed. It's coming from the clutch master cylinder and sounds like the rod is now binding. I've gravity bled the slave cylinder but can't build enough pressure to disengage the clutch. Anyone ever have this problem?
