    Problem with clutch pedal

    Theres absolutely no pressure on the clutch pedal, it sinks straight to the floor. Clutch is fine, pressure plate is fine throw out bearing is fine clutch slave cylinder replaced.. Bled it till only fluid came out no pressure on the clutch at all it just sinks to the floor*still and this was after 40 minutes of bleeding it. It barely moves the fork at all there's no leaks from the master cylinder

    did you check the clutch line? the rubber may be bad and flexing when you push the pedal. otherwise im gonna say your mc is dead.

      Since it is not mentioned, why not replace the master cylinder?

        I'll check the rubber hose but we didn't change the mc cause the owner said it was replaced recently

                Aww, I had no idea it was replaced recently.

                How about having an assistant somehow hold the slave cylinder from extending while you apply the clutch. If the slave cylinder does not extend or squishy, you know there's air in the system. If it extends solidly, you know you have issue with clutch mechanism.

                I'm just thinking out loud,,,,

                  well it turns out it just wasn't bled enough... we ended up attaching a tube from the brake bleed valve to the clutch slave cyl bleed valve and reverse bleeding it. works, but didnt pass emissions.. says theres a leak somewhere in my fuel lines. and it sounds like I have a vacuum leak somewhere too

                    Vacuum leak is relatively easy to find by spraying bursts of starter fluid or similar on various places while engine is idling. If there's change in rpm, there's leak from that place.

                      huh? you attached a tube from the brake's bleeder valve to the clutch's slave cylinder? I mean it's the same fluid but hows that work?

                        Yeah but it reverse bleeds it and since I don't have one of those power bleeders it shoots the liquid up through a tube (connected to the nearest brake bleed valve and the clutch slave cylinder bleed valve) and gets the air bubbles out

                            This is the same problem I seem to be having. It's been 4 years.

                              The clutch problem or vacuum leak or the problem with the fuel line? if it's the clutch pedal problem I fixed it, you just have to really really bleed it good, I spent almost 2 hours total bleeding it the normal way before looking up ways on yt to bleed it more efficiently, and I fixed it within a half hour. Try reverse bleeding it, I bought a small rubber tube that fit snug around the bleeder valve and attached it to the clutch bleeder valve and the brake bleeder valve and then I just pumped the brakes, you'll have to dump the resevoir when it gets full. since your brakes are already bled you wont have to bleed them again you can just keep adding brake fluid to its resevoir
