get urself a new clutch slave and master cylinder a big bottle of brake fluid. make sure u bench bleed the master cylinder unless you want it to take all day. have a buddy to help keep the fluid topped off while you slowly work the pedal all the way up and down. be patient, it will take a little while. while I was at it, i went ahead and replaced the entire stock hardline with a steel braided line. much simpler and if i ever have to take the slave cylinder off the tranny I dont have to unhook the fluid line.

Blown seals or o-rings in the slave or master cylinder, if you have someone press on the clutch while you watch, does the clutch fork attempt to move?

If so, that would tell me slave cylinder, if not, the master.

You have air in the system. If your res. is empty, you can probably get away with a bleed. Should the bleed process be to time consuming, try pressure in the res will help. I drilled a hole in the cap and threaded a presta vale in pump it up to 40 lbs. and exersize the peddal with the bleed valve cracked.

Pump the clutch pedal a few times to build pressure. Lift it up with your foor or hand if you have to. Have an assistant look at the line and slave for any leaks. If none are found, make sure the reservoir is full and try bleeding it to see if it helps. If it doesn't or you see any leaks replace the line and the slave.

slip a clear piece of hose over the bleeder screw, make sure its a snug fit,
loosen bleeder slightly
pump clutch and look for air in clear piece of hose,

put other end of clear hose in a container above the bleeder some where to catch excess fluid while bleeding.

clear hose serves 2 purposes: to no spill anything on the floor, and to see the air bubbles.


or better yet, next time just google it.....

All these posts for something that was answered by apex1972, do what he's telling you, always replace both master and slave as a pair. Many times I've seen people only do 1 and when they're bleeding the system the other blows, not fun explaining that to a customer (if you're a mechanic).

If you accidentally pressed the clutch pedal with the engine out (I did this once) then you blew the hydraulics.
