Any ideas? I have gone over the shop manual and am still having trouble with it, and I just don't want to break down and buy a $100 new cylinder if I dont have too. None of the passages are blocked so I'm hoping it's just my crappy rebuilding skills.

You probably have air in it. If that doesn't work you will have to take it apart again. The cup in the center faces back. It's pretty basic. It would be hard to get it wrong.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

Check for plugged fluid hole, in the bottom of the reservoir? | | |
