i replaced the clutch, internal slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder. i am now ready to set it on fire.
the problem i am having is i either dont have all the air out of the line or i keep getting air, and neither makes sense. no leaks wet spots nothing but after 3 days i have to bleed the clutch. is this unusual? any ideas?
sorry i accidently posted this twice

Sorry for the delayed reply!
It does sound like you might have a small leak, or thier's still air in the system.
Does the car try to move at all when you let up on the clutch??
Are you inside a garage or somewhere warm when bleeding the system ?
I've noticed when its cold it does take longer to clear all the air out.
Also are you just bleeding it from the bleed screw ?
OR Have you tried without the screw ?

i have enough clutch that it catches just off the floor. using a bleed screw. i am in ohio so right now we have been below freezing for most of the past month, and im not in a heated garage. ive looked all over and dont see a leak. i am stumped.

yeah probly still some air in there. And under normal temps it takes 10-15 mins to warm up the system. Since its been so cold it might take an hour of idling. cold weather is hell on hydrolic clutche systems IMO.
