Default Can't Bleed New Slave and Master Cylinder...

I am having the same problem. I have just replaced the clutch about 6 months ago and about a month after that my clutch pedal went to the floor and would not let me shift. So I pulled the tranny and put a new slave on and also a new master. Still hardly any pedal. We have done the standard procedure. Pump, pump, pump, hold down the clutch. Then crack the bleeder valve to hopefully push the air out. Then close the bleeder and repeat. We also tried just pumping the clutch pedal over 3,000 times top try to compress what air is in there to get a pedal but still no luck. Then we tried removing the disconnect and pressing a screwdriver into it while someone held down the pedal to tried to run the air out of the line. Nothing has really worked. The pedal does not stick to the floor and does come back almost to the break pedal, however it doesn't allow you to shift the car.

What kind of clutch did you put in? I had to install a tick master so I had some adjustability with the McLeod clutch, it wouldn't fully engage with the stock master!

What clutch? Did you shim it? It does not sound like a hydraulic issue but more of a pressure plate/engagement issue/disengagement issue.

Take the line from te master to the slave loose and bleed the master.
Same procedure as with the slave and valve, but just use your finger over the end. Ten plug it back into the slave and bleed
