    I just did a motor swap on my speed6 and y replace clutch with a LUK clutch set, & Slave cylinder. My problem is that when I initially bleed the system, slave clutch was engaging now two days later it stops engaging. Pedal feel the same as before but when the engine is running I cant find 1,3 and 6 gearand Is not leaks. I bleed the slave with a hand pump like 10 times already and all I see coming out is just a little of brake fluid drops; and no a steady stream like when you bleed brakes is this normal??. I am out of ideas, Help!!!!!

    Best I can say is just keep bleeding it. That thing can be an absolute bitch to bleed.

    The black label 0109 kit comes with an aluminum cap, which is worth every penny. The cheaper plastic cap leaks.

    Anyway... You can use this kit to force feed fluid into the clutch hydraulics, and to also bleed the brakes.

    I made my own pneumatic power bleeder that's fed by my air compressor, but it was a bit of a headache to make. I bought the billet cap from motive and love it.

    Power bleeding eliminates all the air in the lines and should fix your clutch issue.
