Just recently changed out my master cylinder and my clutch pedal is basically on the floor. I bleed the lines two times and once i put my foot down on the clutch and release my foot the pedal would pop back up a second later. When a couple of days goes by, the pedal starts to go lower and lower to the floor. I also have no leaks. Could i have installed it wrong?
 
Clutch harness
But you might installed it wrong to but idk LOL pretty sure its the harness

I dont think its the clutch harness.

Did you replace the master cylinder cause it was bad? Hows you fluid level?

I replaced it because it was bad and leaking onto my floor board. Fluid level is good.
 
Im dealing with the same problem. I just bought the car and its just had a clutch and flywheel put in. But after 20 mins the clutch went to the ground and wouldnt come back up. The guy said check the hydraulic fluid. Where the efff is that? I thought it would just be checking brake fluid but apparently not!

Clutch, and Brakes have different Reservoir.

The Clutch is the Little Reservoir. Locate it at the Driver side, (Under the Hood), wright at the corner is the Clutch Cylinder.

Next to it is a bigger one, which is the Brake Reservoir.
Both of the Reservoir Uses Brake Fluid.

Check both of them, Both are made of Plastic and both have White Top.

Could be many things. Not so much info on your part but if you just drive and it goes down by itself or when you start to slow down it will drop. Most likely it will be your master. 2g masters have a plastic tab inside the master where it will break causing fluid to leak through that tab internally without out any fluid coming out of the master. check RRE clutch page for what I mean.
Also check the slave and master for any leaks, inside and outside the boots!
 
It's not an ebay master cylinder is it? if so it will leak from day one under the boot. never again will I make the mistake of buying something on ebay for $10 less only to endup replacing it again in 6 months. :ohdamn:
