For the people who's done auto to 5-spd conversions, after multiple bleeds and stiffened have you experience with the clutch pedal sinking to the floor after a full day or 2 and have to repeatedly re-pump the clutch to re-stiffen? I've eliminated the damper box and re-bled so many times and still occurs? Maybe I have a bad clutch master cylinder that causes the clutch pedal to sink? (I bought an autozone clutch MC, maybe that's the cause?). The clutch resevoir is full too when this happens. I'm not sure what the hell is causing it to do that and is giving me a headache re-pumping the clutch everyday to stiff. Anyone else with a similar problem?

you may have gotten a defective m.c.Bleed the m.c. at the hard line coming out and then bleed the slave and see what happens.

Hmmmm, guess I'll replace it with an OEM one.
