94 Mazda clutch problem

1994 Mazda B2200, 5 speed standard, motor L4, engine 2.2L, 110,000 miles
All of a sudden I had no clutch, so put a new one in. I still have no clutch power. I have fluid, so I think the hydraulics work efficiently. No fluid goes to the master clutch plate. The slave doesn't get fluid either. Any ideas? Thanks!

Do you mean that you have no resistance in the clutch pedal while depressing it? Or, do you mean that you can start the engine, push in the clutch, and put in any gear..and still won't move? Just because the clutch master cylinder is full of fluid, doesn't eliminate a hydraulic problem. Try bleeding the master cylinder, first. Then, bleed the rest of the system at the slave cylinder. The bleeder on the slave will have to be higher than the unit, so you may have to unbolt it from the bell housing and hold it up while bleeding to get any air that might be trapped in the slave. If bleeding doesn't help, you may have a faulty master cylinder (or slave).

I've done that... and have no resistence - haven't tried to put it gear as I know that's useless at this point. Now just have to figure out if the new master cylinder I just put in is faulty or if it's the new slave. Dang! GURR!
BTW, Do you have much snow down there in the Vancouver/Portland area, I assume? We have over three feet up here at Cheney. Nice today, but another storm is coming. Thanks, for the reply and have a Happy New Year!

Cheney? I heard that you guys got hit pretty hard. No, ours is nearly gone. Only had about 18". Has been raining and in the mid 40's for three days, now. Those hydraulic systems can be a real PIA to bleed. Hopefully, just air. Be sure to buy NEW, not remans. Good luck.

Yeah, we have lots of snow, but the roads are clear. I am giving up until I can return and get another master cylinder. Guess I'll go drop the tranny again. Hopefully I'll get it fixed and running again by next week-end. IT's a PIA all right and more.
Thanks, I could use some luck, too. -Denny

Just a side note. These master cylinders are problematic. You must follow the bleeding instuctions exactly or you will have the problem you described. I have done battle with these several times and they can be a real pain. If it didn't come with bench bleeding instructions I can post what I have done for you. Good Luck
