I had to replace the slave cylinder on a 92' rodeo and while I was at it I replaced the master cylinder as well. Now I am having a problem getting the system bled. I tried bleeding the master with the line off and then reconnecting the line and bleeding the slave,no good. I even tried loading the system from the bottom (pushing fluid into the slave with a large syringe) and then doing the pump and bleed,no good. I also tried filling the master with the bleed nipple out off the slave and pumping the clutch until fluid pumped out and then replaced the nipple and did the pump and bleed,no good. No matter what I try I can't get a good solid petal. Has anyone had this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Okay,I finally figured this out. I ended up using a large cyringe to push fluid from the bottom to get the line loaded all the way to the master and at the same time pushing the air out the top (I had the line cracked loose going into the master cylinder) I continued pushing fluid until I had a steady stream of fluid coming out the top. At this point I had the line loaded but I still didn't have any resistance on the petal. Then I put a prybar on the shift fork and while I was prying the shift fork back (also extending the piston on the slave cylinder) I had my buddy force fluid into the slave cylinder with the cyringe. Once the cylinder was full,we tightened the bleed nipple and let the shift fork return. Now at this point we discovered that the slave cylinder did not return completely. So I cracked the line at the master cylinder,and let it bleed until the slave returned. Then I tightened the line on the master and fired up the rig. Everything works fine now,it shifts just fine and I have a good solid petal. I hope this helps anyone having the same problem,I know I was about to pull my hair out!!

Good info since I'm looking for a Trooper into which I can swap my Rodeo 5-speed.
Did you find any problems with the line itself? Seems odd that fluid wasn't flowing easily between master and slave.

No the line was fine,and yea it was strange that I couldn't get fluid flowing.But raising the fluid from the bottom worked really well.

Something in the system was probably seized. Happens with brakes, usually a tap with the hammer jars the cylinder loose. You probably free'd it by forcing fluid against it.

Good to hear you find a fix. I replaced the slave and master on the clutch on a 92 rodeo, had the same issue. Actually did it 2yrs ago, its parked these days. Will need to try this trick.

Related issue bleeding Amigo clutch line. Had to replace master clutch cylinder assembly. This part penetrates the firewall and is virtually unreachable. Restored functionality, but the engagement point for the pedal is just off the floor with about 1-inch of engagement. How do I get the pedal to engage sooner ? BTW reaching all this crap to effect the replacement on the driver side of the firewall was almost impossible. What a cluster. Thanks.

Recently replaced mine also,biggest bitch was getting the hard lineloose and back on the clutch master
Mine also engaged 1" off floor,the mighty vac didn't work,it wouldn't pull fluid,is was like wtf
I took the clip off and pulled the pin on pedal assy.and wedge a wrench and screwdriver into the mount area to push the rod into the master cyl about 3/16".I was then able to pull fluid through at the slave bleeder
I was damn ready to replace the hardline with braided and bleed on the bench and then snake assy back into place
