so my clutch pedal is basically collapsing when i push it in and it wont return with out phyiscally reaching down and bringing it back up.

i replaced my throw out bearing and bought RPS clutch, and new master cylinder

we have bleed the system many times over and feels exactly the same...no different what so ever.

the threads Ive read just say slave cylinder or air in the system but Ive bleed the system so much and been through so many bottles of brake fluid i feel it has to be something else besides the slave cylinder or air.

advice plz.... after i get this squared away my SR swap will be done!!!

have you removed the clutch box? Can you see the slave cylinder moving if someone pushes the pedal?

ooooooooooo i found what i needed.....its because the system isnt bled properly....becasue of the box that makes the pedal have a softer feel.......yeh i guess ill delete that and bleed faster and loose the comfort feel or w/e

I recently had the same issue on mine, it turned out to be the clutch plate, the rod whent right through it. We ended up changing the clutch cable, throwout bearing, push rod and clutch. Fortunately my bother in law is a mechanic, and helped me fix it for next to nothing.
