OK, so my clutch slave was leaking badly. I had Advance Autoparts order me a new one that I picked up today. I installed it, opened the bleed valve, added brake fluid, waited for it to start dripping from the bleed, then had my wife depress the clutch, I closed the bleed, had her pull the clutch pedal up, opened the bleed, had her press the clutch and repeat until clear fluid was coming out of the bleed. I then closed the bleed. I sat in the drivers seat and pressed the clutch down. There was some resistance, but the pedal didn't come back up on it's own. I pulled the pedal up and it stayed. I depressed it again and the same thing happened. I depressed it one more time and heard a pop from under the car, and the pedal had no feeling at all. I pulled the slave off to check it and the rubber diaphragm was completely blown out. Was it defective, or did I "eff" it up somehow?
