okie.. here is my problem. i have searched this forum for this but i did not find any with the same situation i have. I bled my clutch but someone pumping the clutch and holding it down while i open the bleeder valve on the slave, till all the air comes out. i do that about 5 times. After that i get in the car, and there would be pressure. than i turn the car on and rev while in neutral and all of a sudden the clutch pressure is gone. i would have to pump the clutch to get pressure again. i just replaced the slave cylinder last week by me and the master was replaced 5k miles ago from the previous owner.. i dont believe its crankwalk because the pedel never got stuck on the floor during turns or anything. and this problem happens consistantly. and my crank doesnt move when i step on the clutch. i dont loose any fluid from the master, the level stays the same.

1. did i bleed it right?
2. should i just the change the master anyway?
3. is there a leak somewhere?
4. should i just change the whole system, besides the slave. from the master cylinder and get a braided line from the master to the slave?

oh sorry for the misspelled loose? hahah
 
1: Get a service manual and follow the clutch bleeding procedure.
2: Verify that the master was changed, and is in good working order. If not replace

The clutch master does not hold a large amount of fluid, verify that after bleeding there is still sufficient fluid in the master.
 
yes i did bleed both the master and the slave. But i probably screwed it up somehow.. if i have a leak in the system. will my fluid go down? or will it remain the same level? does the revs have anything to do with it?
 
If you have a leak the fluid level will go down. It is a leak, it has to go somewhere.

Revs have nothing to do with the actuation of the clutch hydraulic system.
 
okie.. i bled the whole system.. and still have the same problem.. im going to change the master cylinder. after i change that and it still a problem, i will get a stainless line from the master straight to the slave. if that doesnt work, it might be the pressure plate..
 
I've seen this problem at the shoot out. Helped bleed the system over and over. Swapped the slave twice first one was used second straight from advanced auto. Still a no go so he decided to swap the master and wa-la. Let us know if it works for you.
