When trying to bleed master clutch cylinder of 1992 mazda miata, no fluid comes out of the master cylinder when depressing clutch. When master cylinder is removed and manually depressed, the fluid squirts out of the hole. Is the piston too short?

Compressed air should do it. Don't shoot yourself in the eye while attempting this. (Don't laugh, it happens a LOT)...accordianman

crack the bleeder nipple on the slave cyl and get some one to slowly push the pedal see if any fluid shoots out if not you may have killed the new seal in the master cyl.
it sounds like you did every thing right its just that old cylinders get were in them and if you don't hone them out and put a new sleeve in them quite often you will rip the new seal apart on the first pump of the pedal.
any way check for presser and let me no

Replace both clutch slave and master cylinders, and bleed well. I've also had this happen.

Sounds like the seal in the new clutch master cylinder. I've seen that same problem in the hand brake system in small 2 and 4 seat airplanes. ( I'm and aircraft mechanic) The problem is not air in the lines so bleeding won't help. The piston seal is intermittantly failing to seal. That is whty the function can return without any apparent reason as the seal has seated itself. The only cure is to replace or rebuild the master cylinder. ( Yes, even new or rebuilt ones can have a defective or improperly installed piston seal)
Hope this helps
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING
This operation must be performed any time the clutch master or slave cylinder has been removed or if any of the hydraulic lines have been opened.
WARNING
Do not spill brake fluid on the bodywork of the vehicle; it will destroy the paint. If fluid is spilled, immediately wash the surface with plenty of clean water.
