Default gravity bleed problems

[media]http://s1294.photobucket.com/user/ugabowdoc/media/IMG_4366_zpsc729dda4.mp4.html[/media]

I have just replaced the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder on my S2K, and I used factory parts purchased from my local honda dealer. After reading several post on the forum about this topic, I tried to gravity bleed the system, but I am not having any luck getting all the air bubbles out. I have been through 5 large bottles of fluid and 2 hours and still nothing. I have posted a short video of what my fluid is doing as it drains out. I would appreciate any advise on how to correct my problem. Thanks

With the slave unbolted and hanging, pump the piston all the way in and all the way out, each time changing the angle of the slave.

Have someone watch the fluid in the res, they will see bubbles each time. Repeat until bubblers are gone.

No extra fluid or bleeder wrench needed. Should take you 2 minutes tops. You will not be touching the bleeder or the clutch pedal at all.

Still no luck on getting a solid clutch pedal. I can fix most things, but this has me stumped. Looks like it will be towed to the dealership and let them try and fix it. Just dang!!!

The local Honda shop determined that the system was bled correctly and recommended pulling the transmission. After the transmission was removed, we found that the clutch disc had come apart. In the last month, I have had the car towed twice, replaced the transmission, 2 clutches, Clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, and A/C compressor. My check book is screaming!!! Should be picking it up tomorrow, and it will be for sale by the weekend.
