the other day me and my friend changed out the clutch master/slave cylinder. i also took out the damper box after we changed it we bled the clutch pedal. with the car off my friend pumped the clutch 3 times and held the pedal, then while the pedal was held down i opened the valve to release any bubbles. we done this 3 or 4 times until the bubbles were all gone. after the fact while the car was still off i pumped the clutch 5 or 10 times to make sure it wasnt sticking.

it was fine,i turned the car on to test drive it, it drove fine the clutch would engage fine except it would sometimes stick to the floor. did i not bleed it right or something i read from this thread http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/article ... lutch.html that i need to bleed the slave cylinder separately. someone also told me i should bleed the clutch with the car on while its on a load. could someone help

Check for leaks, but it really just sounds like you need to bleed it some more.
