Default no pressure in clutch pedal HELP!!

I have a 92' S, The clutch master went bad on me and I have replaced it and the slave but I'm still having issues getting pressure. The whole hyro clutch system is a new thing to me but I assume it's the same as a brake system. Bleed until the air is gone and boom, done. I bleed off the the slave until there was no air left but there's still not enough pressure to release the clutch, just enough to return the pedal to the starting position. Any suggestions would be great!!!!

I would suggest making SURE you're bleeding it properly. You've probably got air up at the MC end.

- loosen bleeder valve
- depress pedal to floor & leave it there
- tighten bleader valve
- add fluid if needed
- pull pedal back up w/ hand

repeat MANY times... especially if you are having a hard time (there may be air way up in the line). If you end up using a lot of brake fluid, so be it.

It takes a lot of pumping to bleed the clutch system. It took me a good 15 minutes to finally get pressure again.

Make sure your slave is good. Pull the boot back and inspect for leakage. If there is any replace it. Let the system gravity bleed for a while. then have someone help you bleed it:
-Pedal to floor,bleeder open, reservoir full (Make sure you fill reservoir and not just the rubber boot inside reservoir)
-5-10 min.
-Close bleeder
-go in car, pump pedal to floor and all the way back up 5-6 times
-Hold down, have assistant crack bleeder
-Be sure reservoir is full
-Repeat until good pedal and no air comes out
DO NOT SHAKE FLUID-will form air bubbles
