I couldnt shift into gear and the pedal stuck to the floor so i replaced the slace cylinder and bled the clutch and it worked fine and then the clutch stuck to the floor again so i pumped it up and it was fine i drove for a few miles and then same thing happened clutch goes to floor then i pump it up and its fine what can this be an air pocket or something or master cylinder now??
 
check for leaking fluid on the inside and outside of car around the master.also if it is a air pocket it never hurts to bleed the lines again to be safe.

Tell me something, does the pedal stick when you turn a corner? Or just when you're going straight.

Think carefully, the answer determines if you have crankwalk or just air in the line. :confused:

ya but know its hard 2 put in first gear, reverse and downshifting :confused:

what do you mean hard to put in?? does it grind, not disengage, just not go into gear???
 
it seems like the clutch is not all the way down so it almost wont go into gear but if u jam it in it will go in and also when i give it gas it seems like it goes in easier and plus its getting harder and harder to put into gear

sounds like air in the line, just try bleeding it again....sometimes it takes a while for all of it to come out.....keep us posted :coy:
 
make sure the master cylinder rod is adjusted properly.. make sure you got around 1inch of freeplay at the top.. with no freeplay it will start to not disengage and youll be driving around and burning your clutch up.
 
i think thats what i might have done but its only been like a day since i installed the new master cylinder
 
Ya just make sure you got freeplay otherwise its gonna put a hell of a load on your crank and burn your clutch up
