Question 1998 Toyota 4runner Clutch fade

Hay everyone,

Recently I've replaced both my master and slave cylinder several times due to defective parts. I finally got two that worked great for about a month before it started fading. When i started to work on the problem I couldn't get any fluid to flow through the line. Now after taking both the slave and master off cleaning them out and blowing out the line I finally got a little pressure. After bleeding it for a while the clutch still had the same problem. When the clutch is pumped for a little while the pressure is there and can be maintained so long as it is either being pumped or held down. But if I let it up again it loses pressure and falls to the floor.

Any help would be really appreciated.

I really think you better find another brand of parts your buying.

Sounds like someplace you have air getting in again.

When was the last time the rubber hose was replaced just in case that is swelling up under pressure .

Since you don`t mention losing fluid one of the connections may be drawing in air .

It could even be the bleeder valve.

It turns out that there was a back flow in the master cylinder, I replaced that and it worked again.
