My car is still recovering from having the transmission explode due to a diff pin walkout failure.
Transmission replaced, car assembled, went to start the car.
Clutch pops to the floor with the car off, and has to be raised by hand. Like there is no hydraulic pressure at all. Just a spring to the floor.
(I started it anyways, and it ran fine for a minute with new smf/clutch. No change to clutch pedal on the floor)
Tried bleeding for about an hour. Manual 2 person process.
At first a bit of fluid came out, then just air. No change at all to the pedal.
Pulled the slave cylinder, and there's a fluid bubbling gurgling noise when I press in the slave cylinder by hand.
It sound like its coming from the brake booster. But from reading here, the master is much more likely to be bad.
I saw a drip of brake fluid under where the brake fluid reservoir attached to the brake booster. But that might of just been from me adding fluid a minute before, to make sure the system wasn't sucking air.
Here's pictures and a video of the brake booster and slave cylinder being pushed in.
Any ideas what went wrong here?
