Still No Clutch After Swap..help

[lookforjoe]

So I bought a power bleeder and bled the clutch but when I try to put it into gear it wont engage and the car tries to move forward..The shifter goes through the gears fine with the car not running..I checked all the connections and everything is tight, no leaks...I have a new OEM clutch master and slave cylinder and high pressure hose..

If you still have no pedal after following the CORRECT procedure, perhaps you blew out an internal seal with that power bleeder (how much pressure did you apply?)

This just isn't funny anymore. If you can't get a pedal following the basic steps maybe it's time to give the car to a professional to do it.

I've always done the reversed power bleeding method, pressurizing a bottle full of fluid with a vacuum line submerged in fluid on one end and other on the bleeder valve. Get good pedal feel almost instantly that way. Get fully bled the second time around almost instantly. Have never had the reservoir overflow but see how it could happen ;)

Amen, this thread should have been closed a long time ago. This is really a simple process and since we cannot see what you are doing the issue must be with the process or the components.

I will give you my mechanics secret. Hook a vacuum line up to engine vacuum and start the car and use engine vacuum to bleed it. This is how I bleed every car and it will work perfectly in less then a minute. Sounds weird but try it in my opinion its the only thing that works.

I got a guy I know from a Volvo dealership helping me out today. He said he hasn't done one in a while but was willing to drop by and give me a hand...I will post our success or failure later.
