And you have adjusted the clutch pedal rod until the rod is as short as possible IE so it pulls the piston in the MC as far towards the firewall as possible?
I think I misunderstood. When you said push rod out means clutch pedal rod? That is only temporary fix. I did this to run the car for dinner yesterday, but still there are a lot of air inside, and it doesn't help bleeding the fluid.


Anyways, I was able to purge the air from the system today. I don't know why, but it was able to bleed itself as soon as I opened the bleeder. Everything I did was the same as what I did before; opening the reservoir cap, and go under the car, opened the bleeder. Also, I took off the slave cylinder from the tranny and tried to compress the piston. I was able to push it back without opening bleeder.

I still don't know what was wrong with my slave cylinder for last three days, but Happy new year everyone

Yes.
If the clutch adjustment rod is extended too far out, it does not allow the piston to return far enough to allow any new fluid into the clutch system. Therefore, you would be able to open the bleeder, but a few drops would come out and that is it because there is no way for new fluid to enter the hydraulic system.

Hey just confirmed that you are correct!!!!!!!!! sorry I didn't fullly understand what you said earlier. I pulled the clutch pedal rod out as much possible, and there was no drop from bleeder!!
I was thinking backward, like the slave cylindder looks like main cylinder, but your diagram gave me the right picture of it.

Thank you soooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
