Default Mushy clutch

About 6 months ago I was driving and my clutch went mushy and stuck to the floor. After I replaced the slave cylinder it was ok. The other night when I got out of class my clutch began to feel weird again. It was fine on the way there but when I came out three hours later it was feeling really soft and catching really low. I haven't driven it since. I think that I have air in the system somewhere and would like to know how to bleed the slave cylinder. The engines a b17 with a ys1 tranny in an eg if that matters. Thanks alot

On the end of the slave clynder there is a bleeder screw, pump the clutch 10-15 times and open up the screw, then close tightly and repeat untill clutch feels good.

You may have a leak in your master cylinder, is there any wet spots on the fire wall, behind dash?

sorry I didnt reply quicker I was at work. Im going to try that tm thanks. No there were'nt any wet spots and I replaced my master cylinder when I replaced my slave cylinder so I dont think its that. Hopefully bleeding it is all I need to do. Also, what kind of fluid do I use just regular brake fluid is fine right? Thanks for the info
