So if i cut truck off i change gears , then start it with clutch pushed in., but it tryed to takes off, even with clutch pushed to floor board ???

I tryed again this morning, i have to pimp lot to get little over half pedad, but it still not enough to change gears when i motor running, the hose i guess coming from the master clinder is high pres. well the master clinder fluid level dont goes down so, i assume the hose is not leaking. also no fluid on the hose . where could the air be?? it got to have air or it wouldnt pump up some ,after you pump the clutch 50 times ????

Alos the push rod on the master clinder has bend and broke off 2 times in one year. also last year i had a new clutch pressureplate and throw out bearing put in what could be wrong ? Maybe the master clinder letting ait behind the plunger inside the master clinder ???

lets start over when you bleed slave cyl are you getting pure fluid or does it like air and fluid if it's pure fluid then i would think pressure plate like i say are you getting pure fluid on bleeding slave cyl?

On a clutch slave clylinder , is the fluid just behind the plumger or complely inside the slave clylinder ? This thing driving me nuts help

Also the fluid line going from the master clutch to the slave cylinder the fiiting on the end of that lines, are they just fitting/ , or are they some kind of check values??

UPDATE
The master cylinder was letting air escape, also the the fittings on the fluid hose on end at master clylinder,and at slave clylinder [ARE] just FITTING .

Also what was breaking my push rod on master clylinder was = The clucth fork on bell houseing ,when u push pedal down the clutch fork will move and botton OUT, on the bell houseing. I really need a new one ,but i just took the old out and grind some of it , so it wouldn't bottom OUT. Also the top of the clutch fork had been hitting on something ,maybe the pressure plate, but anyway i grind some metal off also on the top and made it smooth.Probbaly new clutch fork would even make it better, but i didnt really have the money ,so i fixed mine good enough ! hope this help SOMEONE . I worked several days on this, not one mechinic told anywhere told me to check the clutch fork to see if it was bottomng OUT when you push pedal in. The clutch fork easy to get out .Thanks for your suggestions, ed
