So I tried to replace my master cylinder for my clutch over the weekend and install a speed bleeder to make any future repairs easier. Well I couldn't get it to build any pressure at all with the matter cylinder so I went back to the older bleeder screw and still couldn't get any pressure to build. I tried conventional bleed for about an hour slow pressing the pedal and quick pressing. Nothing seemed to work and it would never actually pull fluid from the res. I tried vacuum bleeding and just got bubbles with no fluid movement. I checked all the fittings to make sure they were tight and they were. I replaced the slave cylinder thinking maybe that was my problem. I tried reverse bleeding with a pressure tool designed for BMW and nothing. It just held pressure at both the bleed valve and the master cylinder side. Do I just have a horrible air bubble some where or is there a check valve or something I'm missing? I spent probably close to 24 hours of labor trying to bleed this damn system. I disconnected the Hardline from the slave and master and have that line 100% full of fluid and reconnect it all back up and I still get no pedal. I've gone through 3 parts store and 1 junkyard master and 2 slave cylinders just to make sure it wasn't a bad part. I'm not sure what's going on or if there is a trick to this but I'm about at wits end on it.

Your rod to the master is too long shorten it up i find the easiest way to bleed them is too take off the slave and push the slave in by hand while someone pumps the clutch slowly let the slave extend but not too far then push it in by hand then repeat . If you cannot push the slave in by hand your rod to the master is still too long and put the line on the slave upwards to let the air out first

The clutch rod doesn’t just suddenly get too long. Please stop making silly suggestions. Trapped air or either a bad MC or SC are almost always the issue.
