will clutch fluid go through my line if the slave cylinder is not on the end? or will it get full of air? i took it off, so now i have to put clutch slave cyl on other end, and bleed it? right?

You took the line off and all the fluid ran out of the reservoir  Right Just leave the line off until after the tranny is back in and your ready to work on that.
Now you need another person have your buddy stand at the res and keep it full with break fluid as you lay under the truck and wait for fluid to run out the line,wait for pretty much a steady stream then hook the line to the slave cylinder and open the bleeder on the slave cylinder and let the fluid run make sure you fill the res at least 3 times before you close the bleeder,most of the air should be out of the system,fill the res
Now have your buddy get in the truck and push the clutch one time to the floor and hold it while you crack the bleeder open close the bleeder and repeat the process a few times keep an eye on the res do not let it go empty after 3 or 4 times of a one push bleed now pump the clutch pedal up till you have a full pedal and let set for 10 minutes and try the clutch pedal if you have to pump the pedal to get a full pedal you must continue to bleed the system

I hope this helps

yep, cluthc it is, and tranny has been back in and back out 2 times haha, right now, my tranny exhaust t case is all back on, an i have to take it all back off, cause my fork fell off, the little fork holder on the pivot ball stud broke off, so instead of waiting to get a new one i wanted to put it all backtogether and hoped the fork would stay on. It didnt, and i regret it now, new one comes in tuesday


So if everything goes right, it should be back together tuesday night.

all altogether and working somewhat, but i had a plugin that goes to tranny that i could not find! does anyone know what this is for? i think it might be reverse as now my truck just grinds and wont go into reverse. But it will shift int other gears, i have a messed hydraulic line which could also be it that it doesnt have enough pressure to disengage clutch enough, but it shifts into other gears.

Bills Custom Calls

When you put the truck in forward gears how far off the floor does the clutch pedal come up before the truck starts to move if the clutch grabs pretty much right away you still have air in the hydrolic system

As for the plug in I have no idea but my guess would be it goes on top of the tranny for the back up lights that is the one that gets missed the most

I know i have air in it bill, my line is screwed, need to get a new one, problem there is the only place i can find one is junkyard. if i can find one in a junkyard, their discontinued

Give me all the info on your truck
Year Make and Model does it have a internal or external slave cylinder does the line go to the driver side or the passenger side of the tranny
If  the line is broke you can fix that with a 1/4 inch brass union the kind that has compression fittings and the steel inserts that go in the line

The air in the line is the reason the tranny has problems going in reverse

1990 gmc sierra. 305, 5 spd manual. 4x4. line goes from driver side to passenger side. i dont know if its external or internal, dont know the difference, id assume external as it bolts to the side off bellhousing and the rod is inside bellhousing. running pretty short on time to get this thing back on the road. its killing me! :argh: :argh:

do you want the vin?

Bills Custom Calls

Don't need the Vin Might have a used one at the shop I will look and see

Tappen how did you get the Lights and heater crossed up by changing the clutch or has this always been a problem
Is the truck running or are you just sitting in it and turning things on and off
