Default master cylinder/clutch pedal help

Ok, so my clutch started t act up the other day. when the pedal was too the floor it wouldn't fully disengage, so it was almost imposible to get the car in gear. (engagemnet point was a the floor). I'd pump the clutch a few times, and it got slightly better, good enough for me to get it in gear.

I adjusted the pedal out a bit, sloved the problem (getto style). and now when I get in the car, the pedal engages 1/2 way up, but after driving a bit, or I hold the clutch in for a while it engages closer to the floor.

I've changed/blead the clutch fluid with a vacuum pump (like for breaks), and it didn't do anything. Could the master cylinder be shot? or is there any way air can't escape using the vacuum pump method, and I need to pump the pedal itself to bleed?

anyone?

Why would the clutch's engagement point be moving on me?

Sounds like a bad master cylinder. Just like a brake MC where the pedal slowly sinks to the floor... When that same thing happens to a clutch, the pedal is already on the floor, so the clutch itself slowly moves as if you were raising the pedal.

I think your right... THere's not many things going on in the hydrolic clutch assembly other than the MC...
