T-56 Transmission Install Thread
Okay, messed with it a bunch yesterday after work and it's hit and miss. Tried the pump and crack method and was pretty much getting a steady stream of fluid, but still tough to get into gear. I have a little over an inch of pretty free travel on the pedal right now, so I'm pretty sure I'm getting full master cylinder stroke. I figured I'll drive it around a bit and see if I can shake it up and work all the air to one spot and try bleeding it again.
I think the master was part of my initial problem. It has a bleeder on it as well and I routed a short hose from there back around into the reservoir and got quite a bit of air out with a few pumps. I've had a friend suggest "reverse filling" the system by just pumping fluid in through the bleeder on the slave so that it forces everything to the master, but I don't have a good method to do that right now. Limited access for getting hoses in and no pressure system at the moment.
