Ok, so about 3 weeks ago I lost all pedal driving to school, but was able to get some pressure back to get home. Today I bled it for about 2 hours via the slave bleeder thinking that would fix it, but it seems to have gotten worse, now it sticks half way back up, and the pedal hangs on something at the near its normal spot and I have to pull it up. I've read all the stickys, and searched and still have nothing to help me figure out what the problem is...

It sounds like your slave is shot.

Is it possible for it to be out within 5k miles? (Both slave and master are new)

I had my tranny completely rebuilt and bought a brand new slave. It was my third day driving it and I lost clutch pressure shifting into 4th gear. I mean pedal went straight to the floor. Got it towed back, dropped the tranny and the damn slave grenaded inside my bellhousing. Yeah a 3 day old slave straight from GM blew up! The fluid got all over my brand new pressure plate and flywheel had to get flywheel resurfaced etc etc So yes it CAN happen.

I just had that problem with my T5. I replaced my slave, master and the throwout bearing. Bled it for about an hour and it worked after.

i used a mighty vac on it today, and it had 0 effect, still getting the stuck pedal halfway up. So i figured id mess with it a little bit and pumped it just where there wasnt any pressure, and the pedal started getting stiff, so i thought maybe something had happened, so i start the car and try 2 get it into first, and nothin like hitting a brick wall. is this a symptom of something? pumping the pedal w/ no pressure and it getting a good bit of pressure back?

pull transmission and inspect clutch. Sounds like hydraulics gave up. It can happen when new...
