I just replaced my clutch on my 2g eclipse 420a with a stage 2 southbend clutch. Along with all new clutch components, throw out betting, clutch fork, slave and master cylinder. I bled the clutch for what seemed like forever and all I got was a soft pedal. I couldnt even get the car into to gear so I adjusted the master cylinder rod length to it's absolute maxi and I can just bsreba get it into gear. When driving, sometimes it will shift perfectly but sometimes I get stuck at a red light cause it literally won't go into first gear. The clutch also engages probably a half inch off the floor. I'm not sure what else could be causes this. I just ordered a new hydraulic hose that goes in line between the hard line hydraulics because I heard those can let air in the system if they are bad. There is no leaks anywhere and my clutch fluid does not go anywhere, never had to refill it. Maybe I am not bleeding correctly, I didn't stick the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder into a bottle of brake fluid, I heard those can let air back in the system as well while bleeding. Not sure what to do besides these two things. Any help is much appreciated. This is driving me crazy.
