Put a Spec clutch setup in an '03 SVT focus including a new slave cyl provided with the clutch from Spec.I have NO pedal resistance,I have bled it like brakes,let if "bled with the bleed screw cracked for several minutes,used a handheld vacuum pump to try and pull fluid/air out,even sealed the master cyl resivoir and pulled a vacuum on it as well,no dice It's almost like the clutch isn't there and YES I have made sure the rsivoir has plenty of fluid each time.I really need some educated /experienced suggestions here THANKS guys!

when i replaced my master cylinder on the clutch. i bled the brakes and then the clutch. all the same reservoir. try bleeding brakes and then clutch. it only takes a little bit of air in the system to mess it up

I have bled several of them and can tell you they are a bear... I have just taken to leaving the bleeder open on the slave, getting fluid in the line and pumping the crap out of the peddle. I have run a qt of fluid thru them before, then got bubbles. Pain in the butt...So, do it some more

Also, make sure the pedal cylinder isn't leaking. Look for fluid on floor of car just to be sure...its rare but they do go

This guy had a great idea http://faculty.ccp.edu/faculty/dreed/campingart/jettatech/bleeder/index.htm I pressure bleed mine this way and took absolutely no time to bleed it out.

It helps to keep the reservoir filled all the way to the top not just the max line.

I had to do mine when I replaced the clutch master cylinder and it really was a slog. I pressure bled it and brakes together, but then ended up having my son help finish by manually bleeding the clutch. About a hundred up downs of the pedal later and it worked fine. I've heard that if you vacuum bleed it, hook up a vacuum line and reservoir to the fitting, it is easier; but I haven't tried it.
