hey ive posted on this before but i still have had no results. i changed and adjusted the master correctly. i replaced the slave cylinder and i just put a new stainless steel line straight from the master to the slave and bled it until i saw nothing but fluid. i even bled it at the master and bled it while the pedal was pushed down press down on the slave to expell the air in the slave...as soon as i turn the car off it wont shift. it tries to inch forward but wont go into gear. it as if the clutch wasnt even there. does anyone have any ideas what so ever?
i appreciate the help and thanks in advance
 
no the clutch is fine and strong. the only reason why i had this problem is because the master started leaking and i replaced it and that when this started. never had a problem with the clutch itself. it holds strong
 
i agree keep bleeding it, and double check all the linkage and make sure there just isn't something simple like a kink or what not.
 
Gravity bleed it overnight. This will fix the problem IF it's a fluid problem.

Gravity bleeding involves opening the bleed valve so that there is a slow drip. Open the Cap and fill the fluid to the VERY top. Let it drip overnight. Come back and check it in the morning. Make sure The fluid is still pretty full in reservoir. Close the bleed valve, fill the reservoir to the FULL line and put the cap on. Check the clutch function and go from there...

hmmm i never thought of that, it would be luck that all my fluid would bleed out LOL, but that is a great idea.
 
You try adjusting the rod in the master cylinder? Jacks Transmission has a great video describing how to do this.

With my new master and slave cylinder with SS braded line between on my 92, it would grind like a mofo and wouldn't engage in some gears. Then had brother help me adjust rod in master cylinder with him pressing slave in until he couldn't while I rotated the master cylinder rod.
