Default Soft Clutch Pedal

After finally getting my t56 back in tonight i got my clutch fork engaged onto the TO bearing properly and installed a new slave cylinder after bleeding it.
I go into the car, push the clutch pedal and it goes right to the floor with zero pressure then comes back out with very light spring action. What could i have broke from the clutch pedal down to the slave cylinder?

My first guess would be that it’s not bled correctly. I tried doing it without a vacuum pump but couldn’t get it bled right. I got frustrated and went and got a hand vacuum pump. 5 minutes later I had it bled out properly! Try taking the slave cylinder out and pushing it in by hand. If you have no resistance it’s likely not bled right.

Yep. In order to properly bleed the slave you need to bench bleed the master/slave together.

New master cylinder installed and has great pressure now. Its a fun time getting the MC U-bolt back in the firewall and getting the C clip back on the clutch pedal.
