Searched the forum and still have a dead clutch due to my CDV removal.

I removed the CDV and did the clutch bleeding procedure.

press pedal open bleeder, close bleeder pull pedal up, then pump. Still dead

Then I got a bleeder and sucked out about 30 ml of fluid and now now more fluid is coming out. I then used the bleeder to push air into the reservoir and I am not getting any fluid coming out.

The car only has 5000 miles on it.

I can not engage it into first gear.

in the brake fluid reservior.... only a tiny portion of it feeds the clutch fluid. Just pouring brake fluid in doesn't mean it's getting to the little area for the clutch

You need to make sure you bleed the clutch properly. I've bled many clutches on many cars, and when I did it to my E90, it needed way more pumping.

Check out this DIY that I posted.

Thank you for all your advice, I am going to try it again...I am trying to avoid flatbedding the car to a mechanic when I can hopefully do it myself.

If this bleeding technique dosent work, I may just buy a motive pressure bleeder and just pump the fluid through the reservoir.
thanks again
