Hi guys my mate is having a problem with his clutch on his GU.
The pedal is stuck to the floor and won't come up unless you pull it up by hand, he has tried to bleed the clutch but it won't take the fluid, also blew the clutch line out with air.

Not sure what to try next we replaced slave cylinder but still no good.

not sure about the gu's but my GQ did this the other day. i changed one of the lines cause it had a split and the pedal kept getting stuck on the floor. you have to get fluid through the whole system before the pedal will work properly.
the way i did it on mine was as follows:-

1. blead the master cylinder
2. blead the top bleader on the passenger side.
3. blead the bottom bleader on the gearbox
4. finish with bleading the top bleader on the passenger side again.

wen i did mine the pedal didn't start working till i got fluid through the whole system.

not sure if this will help on a GU. see how it goes........

My mate was talking to the transmission dude down the road, he said bleeding/adjusting the clutch on a GU can be an absolute prick. Not sure exactly what the problem is, but I reckon blowing compressed air up the lines is just going to make this harder for yourself.
