Just replaced the clutch slave and master cylinder because I had no pressure in the clutch. The no pressure had been a long standing problem; I'd go to drive my car in the mornings and my clutch would go to the floor and stay there and I would have to fill the master reservior and pump the clutch to build up pressure. Well one day, it would no longer build pressure and so I replaced the slave and the master cylinders as previously explained. The problem now is that I can't build up pressure in my clutch even after bleeding and bleeding the the system. Here is how I bleed it. Pump clutch 20x and leave depressed. Open slave valve. Watch for steady stream and close valve when streams stops. Repeat entire process. I did this about 20x and still no pressure in the clutch!!! What would happen if I opened valve, depressed clutch, closed valve? Please help this poor lady!!! I have got to get rid of this car!
Thank you...
Thank you...

You might have a leak else where in your clutch line. I think the clutch line runs behind the engine to the passenger side and then to the front where it goes from a metal tube to a plastic tube and to the clutch slave cylinder. But hey I could be wrong, you should check it though. like under your car or follow the line to see if it's leaking anywhere? Just my 2cents

also, try bleeding the clutch from the slave end. Use a brake ball or other similar pressure bleeding device. there are times this is the only way to do it

yea bleed it by the slave side. have a friend pump on the clutch pedal really fast while u bleed it. at the same time keep pouring DOT3 brake fluid in the clutch fluid container. u dont want air to get in the lines so u will need to monitor the fluid in the container. let ur friend pump the clutch really fast for about 15-20 sec's while u keep pouring brake fluid in the container
