What kind of pressure do you think the master pushes on the slave with, when depressing the pressure plate fingers? I'd say what a bicycle pump can generate, if not quite a bit more. And it's sustained pressure, as long as you hold the clutch in, not one brief peak.
So, dtk, I doubt your bleeding did anything. By the way, MY homemade bleeder has been a bicycle tube, hacked in two, one end folded over a few times and clamped down with a couple blocks of wood, the other stretched out over the mouth of the reservoir, doubled like a dungaree cuff, and with a hose clamp on it.
But then, I did indeed buy a large nylon syringe at a farm feed store, just a few bucks, at the suggestion of derf on this site (DERF, WHERE ARE YOU?), but I've only used it to back-bleed brakes, not a clutch yet. It works slick. As baluchistan9K or whatever that stands for suggests, down the thread a bit.
As to rebuilding yours, I find it hard to believe it's built any different than the C900 slaves, which press together from the back side, and the only seals of which are three o-rings. Diameters may be different. If you have time and are near a seals distributor, clean the old one up with some rubbing alcohol and take it to them to measure. O-rings alone cost just a few bucks, not any $64. Maybe that's a typo, Bill Homer?
But lastly, dtk, did you indeed check the length of the feed line from master to slave? It could have a leak in the flexible rubber part, a rust hole in the steel sections, or have somehow loosened where it screws into the slave. Not that you can see much down in there. Do look at it before also shelling out bucks on the slave. (Sorry I was one who recommended you re-do the master, since that seems not to have been the real trouble.)
