I dont have any pedal with my bert, cant move the car. Ive bled just like normal, but cant get anything to work.

Master Cylinder checks good, Replace the #3 hose with a #4 to see if i could get any pedal. Still nothing.

No brake fluid in trans oil when i drained it.

What else can cause this? I am going to get a new #3 line tomorrow. Had no issues with trans at the end of last season. Do i need to have someone go through it to check the slave piston?

Can I take the Tailhousing off to check the piston myself with out much problems?

the piston may be frozen. take the trany out put it in a vise with the tail shaft straight up remove all the bolts and work the tail housing straight up and off. take an air gun and blow the piston and cup out in to a rage you'll geta spring and suport cup 4 parts in all. hone the slave clinder out replace the cup and reinstall be sure to put a silicone sealant around the housing. very easy and shouldn't take more that half hour start to finish.

we had the same problem with a Bert last year. we tried for 2 or 3 days to bleed it and it all of a sudden just started working, and havent had another problem with it since.

My issue was the line. Put a new line on and fixed the problem

Try bleeding at the master cylinder
