How to bleed an LS1 Clutch
I have been trying for hours to bleed the clutch, by having someone press down on clutch petal with me under the car, must have been 50 times and it still dixd not have a clutch feel, found this video on internet and bought a hand held vaccuum pump brake bleeder, after 10 mins the clutch was bleed. I am amazed how well it worked

Re: How to bleed an LS1 Clutch
That method doesn't get all the air out either. The feed line is well below the top of the slave cylinder.
Barely cracking the bleeder, Recirculating the bleeder fluid up to the reservoir so the hose end is submerged and pumping the pedal for a couple minutes gets ALL the air out.
When THAT fails, you have a bad master or slave.
