I have a 2006 ss/sc that I recently replaced the clutch with a Luk clutch kit. I also replaced my clutch master t.o.b and line also replaced metering block all with gm parts and am having issues with bleeding it. I have taken the trans out 5 times and cannot figure out what is going on. I have tried pressure bleeding and manual bleeding. When I vacuum bleed the fluid just rises up in the system and does not ever go back down. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

 

I can't tell what your problem is. Are you applying vacuum to the overflow tank and the fluid in the tank rises, but you're not getting any clutch pressure?

 

I am adding vacuum to the reservoir and the fluid level rises but it does not remove any air am I supposed to pump the clutch with vacuum applied?

 

Yes, slowly push the pedal all the way down and slowly release it 5-10 times. It should take 5 seconds to push the pedal all the way down, then 5 seconds to bring it back up. You also need to keep vacuum on it for a while. There should be instructions on crateenginedepot.com

 

Turns out I had a faulty pressure plate. It was a brand new luk clutch kit I purchased from rock auto. The pressure plate had two bent teeth on it that wouldn’t disengage the clutch cost me another 270 for a clutch but I’m back on the road again!!

 

They should have warrantied that
