Well, its very difficult to bleed the clutch line properly. I'd suggest borrowing an air compressor assisted brake bleeder to get all the air out of the line.

Default the slave cylinder rubber part cover is ripped

so my clutch stays down after bleeding it, we also tryed gravitty bleeding it, and the clutch still stays down, i took off the cover under the dashboard and cheked out the master cylinder under the dashboard by the clutch peddal, and its not leaking oil, so then i took off the slave master cylider and the rubber part that covers the piston is ripped almost all the way open, not the boot looking art on the outside but the rubber part that is attached to the cylinder , and i was wondering if this is why the clutch is staying down after bleeding

These clutch lines (from what I've been reading) are a PITA to bleed. I bled mine without any problems, however all I did was bleed it; I didn't replace anything prior to bleeding it.

Was it working prior to your attempt to bleed it? Did you somehow damage it during this process, or is this just something that you've happened to discover?

If you're referring to the o-ring where the line attaches to the slave cylinder, just replace it with a new o-ring.

If the slave cylinder is leaking elsewhere, replace it.



EDIT: I just merged your threads together. Two threads for one inquiry isn't necessary.
