So, I had got an exhaust in a trade, complete turbo back, pretty nice in good shape, so I put it on, everything went smoothly until I tried to start my car. I went to press the clutch and it went straight to the floor no feeling what so ever. Nothing had touched the slave cylinder or lines. So.. Any clue what happened? Or what I should do? I'm going to try and bleed it tomorrow see if maybe some air was sitting somewhere or something.. Also, does anyone have a picture of where their clutch fork sits without the clutch depressed?
 
You can look on youtube for Jaffromobile. Shows how to adjust the clutch and I think it shows where the fork sits. Should be slightly past 1/2 toward the drivers side. Wierd that it happened just after throwing the exhaust on. When mine did that it was leaking out the back of the master cylinder.
 
I have the petal properly adjusted but I'll look for the video as well, I can't see any fluid leaks anywhere and the reservoir is still full
 
Puzzling, a worn pivot ball shouldn't cause you to lose pressure. A few years back I broke one of the forks off of the pivot arm and still had pressure, just couldn't get the clutch to release.
 
Strange, mine appears fine but the fork does seem to be a bit too far to the left (passenger side)
 
Bled the clutch, got pressure again but something in the Tranny goes too far and drags with the clutch pressed to the floor, I have to shift at 3/4 down
