Hello!
I have a 2010 and I just recently did all kinds of stuff to it. Once of the things that I did was replace the clutch and the slave cylinder/TOB. This is the clutch kit and I followed all the instructions, bled the slave cylinder as best I could, got it all back together, and I thought I bled the clutch lines cause no bubbles were coming out (I attached a hose to the bleeder, went in the car and jammed a broomstick between the clutch pedal and the seat, cracked the bleeder, closed the bleeder, repeat till no bubbles came out). When I went to start it it wouldn't go into gear and I thought that was weird cause it readily shifts into all the gears when it's off. Turns out the clutch isn't disengaging. I tried to bleed the clutch a bunch more and instead of holding the pedal down every time I would alternate between that and open valve, push clutch to floor, close valve, lift up clutch pedal, and once I started doing that it just kept pushing out bubbles no matter how many times I did it (I pushed more than a quart of brake fluid through the bleeder). So I thought I might be able to throw parts at it before I took the transmission off and got a new bleeder valve. After making some light modifications to make that fit in the groove the stock bleeder valve fits in due to its round shape, same thing. I made sure the fluid levels were high enough and there didn't seem to be leaks anywhere in the lines. I am going to take the new slave cylinder out today and take a look at it. I understand that these cars are particularly hard to bleed the clutch but I really think that I was doing it adequately. Is there some major thing that I am just missing? Thanks friends!
