Hi Friends hoping to get some guidance. Just finished with quite a few modifications on my 21 Sti, one of Which is a Perrin Pitch mount with a torque solutions pitch mount brace and stainless clutch line. I bled the clutch extremely well or so I thought. I got all air bubbles out and gave it a few extra cycles of bleeding. My wife was the helping foot in this case and we weren’t able to get the clutch pressure back. it will pump and build slightly but then stick to the floor again. And repeat.
What should be my first course of action to troubleshoot shoot the issue.
My initial thought is bleed it again if that doesn’t work remove the line and check the connections possibly put the inlet nozzle in backwards. Or the outlet connection isn’t seating properly. Or perhaps I have too drastic of an angle in the line because I ran it with a decent angle at the top I can definitely route it more fluidly.
Please advise if anyone can possibly give some guidance it would be greatly appreciated!

It has been awhile since I bled the clutch on my old STi, but I thought I remember having to pull up on the clutch in between depressing the clutch. That's about all I remember about it.

Thank you I’ll give that a shot. Appreciate it.

Thank you!! It didn’t even occur to me to look at the service manual. Really appreciate your response!

I once had a similar issue with my GD. I thought that angle of the slave and line might make it difficult to bleed. After much frustration I removed the slave and bled it in an orientation that allowed the line not to have a bend with a high spot. That worked . . . that time . . . haven't done it enough times to be conclusive. - that was a couple hundred K of commuting miles ago - today I might try a pressure bleeder . . . because it might push bubbles faster than they can rise.

Appreciate that! as a matter of fact I just went out today and picked up a pressure bleeder. Going to disconnect the line and re route it and bleed it on Saturday. Hopefully that fixes it. Thanks again for responding glad to be part of such a helpful community.
