So the way you have the tob situated is the port for the "out" facing up inside the bell housing?

Well...if you had an access point I would try and put some tension against the throw out bearing while doing the two person bleed method, with a prybar or something.

I have a similar setup on my LS400. I also didn't bench bleed it. Took forever, but works just fine now. As long as you have no leaks keep bleeding. You'll get it eventually.

There is no access unless removing the whole transmission and my brother and i have both seriously bled the thing to death.
I called up tilton yesterday, he suggests removing the spring from the pedal. Im going to give that a shot. He also says that the 5/8" bore of the stock MC is too small, not displacing enough fluid to the tob. This seriously sucks. Because the manual recommends a 3/4" bore MC as well.
Wish me luck. Lol

I know the difference between blessing brakes and a clutch is not different except the speed of the pumping. For the clutch go slow, use your hand and go slow.., don't do fast pumps.
