bleed clutch still goes soft after i get on it??? I bleed clutch old school way. Never had problems doing that way. The car rides and drives great and isnt slipping shifts great, speed shifts same as always when i get on it and it pulls hard. But when im done i have to pump the clutch back up. This is the 1st time ive bled the clutch in 46k miles. Ive cleaned out the reservoir when fluid was black and added new to it. Pumped it up and and did it again. Any ideas? Do i need to bleed it more? The reservoir empty 3 times when i was bleeding it.

You probably have an internal seal inside the master cylinder bypassing fluid. So I'd replace the master, then bleed it again. It may take 3-4 times to get all the fluid pumped thru. I use a pressure bleeder from Motive products and it's well worth the 60bux !
