I'm back again with clutch problems, AGAIN. Long story short, I took it to a mechanic who bled and bled it and there's no air in the line but yet my clutch will still not engage. I just replaced the master cylinder not to long ago. Here's my symptoms, I need to pump the clutch multiple times to get enough pressure to get it to go in gear. Its like I'm pressuring the system every pump I give. I have an Exedy clutch so I know its a decent clutch. Maybe my slave isn't going far enough to engage my clutch? I have no idea and I'm not paying another mechanic to tell me something I already know for 40 dollars or more.

I hope you guys can help me figure this out!
Thanks in advance,
-Miguel
 
Well how old's the slave?

Not sure, but I adjusted the master cylinder and it seems to be shifting in one push in. Although if I pump the clutch multiple times it seems as if fluid gets stuck in the slave, locking me in neutral, kinda weird..
 
Is everything adjusted properly? If you have to pump the clutch then you still have air in the system, assuming it was bled properly this means you have a leak somewhere. Since the master has been recently replaced you either have a bad line, or a bad slave.

I don't have to pump it now, but when I pump it it feels like it locks fluid up in the slave and basically my clutch is engaged the whole time after I pump it, if I don't pump it it's fine.
