While the clutch slave was disconnected from the tranny, a friend of mine hopped in the driver's seat and promptly pushed the clutch pedal before I could punch him in the head. I watched as the pushrod shot out of the cylinder with all its might, leaking fluid and ultimately sucking copious amouts of air. As i has bigger fish to fry at that moment, I put the pushrod and cover thingy back together as best as possible and continued on.

So, now, since the engine is back in place, we're trying to bleed this sucker and having some difficulty. With a makeshift pressure cap on the resevoir (don't ask), all we're getting is air flowing out the other end. How does air 'bypass' the resevoir and end up travelling through the master and slave clutch cylinders. We can't get a significant flow to pressurize the system. The clutch pedal is 'dead weight' at the moment and only pushes air.

What to try next?

Thanks for listening,
