Clutch pedal problem.

[98mitsubishigst]

Okay two days ago i come home and pull in driveway and i push clutch in and it dropped to the floor.. I noticed the slave was leaking..

I could lift the pedal up and push it down by hand very lightly and the pedal would just drop to the ground.. "ghost pedal"

I tried bleeding it first before i noticed the slave was leaking.. replaced the slave and the line that goes to the slave from the cylinder, and bled it 3 times, refilled, bleed it 3 more times.. Do i need to continue bleeding?

The pedal now has pressure, and comes back up,.. but it feels as if it's sticking for a second then coming up and hitting my foot..

I have a master cylinder coming in next thursday.. (I will be replacing no matter what but...) If i continue bleeding the slave will i be able to get the clutch how it was? i also read i have to bleed the master.. how do i bleed the master??

Any more info would be nice!

Thanks!

Bleed it till all the air is out of it. Even tiny air bubbles will join and to make a big one. Just bleed it from the slave when you put the new master on always make sure it is at max with fluid. Just keep pumping it, hold, release air, tighten, release pedal, then repeat. If you need more detail I can explain more. If you are doing all of this would be a good time to up grade the bottom hose with stainless line, but up to you.

Update, Battery was dead.. Got it jumped..

Started it, i tried pushing pedal down to where it would be to get clutch engaged, it wouldnt.

So i pushed the clutch pedal to the floor and it engaged but no leeway and i stalled.. I then pushed it to the floor and gave it gas and i could get the car to move, and drove it up the hill, i put it in first, gave it gas, went up hill and shifted into second with clutch pedal to the floor..

No grinds or noises.. just when i downshifted it downshifted very hard..
