Trying to bleed the clutch..pedal just goes to the floor and stays...
I just got done installing a new clutch in my 99(new slave/master cylinder were installed when the spec 3 was installed about 15K miles ago) I got it all back up..went to go bleed the clutch..filled the reservoir up..loosend the bleeder..and the pedal just goes right to the floor..no resistence. i have to pull the pedal up by hand after that...what could be the problem!!! HELP!!!!

well i got alittle pressure into it..now when i drive..its really mushy..clutch engages like 2inches from the floor..which im guessing is because its new...but should i just drive it for a couple days..then try to bleed it again?

Goto autozone and buy a mityvac vacuum pump.. take the fitting that look's like a cone and it fit's into the reservoir hole in the bottom.. pump it to about 25hg's.. and let her sit.. you'll start to see the air come up.. after it sit's for about 5 min. make sure the res. is filled up and pull it out really fast.. and do the process over again till the bubble's go away..
