Noobie Clutch Question

Hey Guys I have a 1990 z32 and I have a clutch problem I just replaced the Master and slave cylinders for the clutch and when I bleed them the pedal doesn't gain any pressure at all but there is no leak in the system and everything is hooked up. Also the fluid flows like it's suppose to in other words there's no blockage in the system either the only thing I can see that might be wrong is the lever for the throwout bearing doesn't move while the pedal is being pumped but that wouldn't have anything to do with it not building pressure would it? I am truly stuck and am in need of asistance thanks

make sure that the rod that connects from the master cylinder to the clutch pedal is the same length. When I swapped my master cylinder, the new rod was shorter, and prevented the pedal from getting proper throw. I'd check that first.

don't forget that there's a second bleed point other than the one by the slave.
On the passenger side in the engine compartment, behind the power steering reservoir is another bleeder.

Accodring to the Factory Service Manual, it says to bleed the slave cylinder first, then bleed the clutch piping connector last (the bleeder on the passenger side fender well)

This is how I bleed mine and had no problem, but as long as you get all of the air out of the system thats all that counts. And yes speed bleeders are your friend.
