sounds like you have air left in the system. you need to bleed this system completely. if it worked before then it should work again.

I bled the system until I was sure it was good. Do I HAVE to use a vaccuum for this?

it is best too. air is real tough to get out without it.

Still no joy. I don't have a vaccuum, but I tried filling the line from the bottom with a pump. I tried unbolting the slave cylinder, holding it vertical and depressing the shaft and only got a couple of small bubbles. Still won't even break the plastic strap on the slave cylinder but I have good pedal pressure, just can't get it in gear. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

I tried everything but a vaccuum. How much travel should there be on the slave cylinder? Even if the clutch is slipping, shouldn't I be able to get it into gear? Thanks.
