Well it all started from a weird whining noise whenever I would shift hard, I was told my clutch wasn't engaging all the way, so i needed to change my master cylinder. So I changed that and bled it and did all that jazz and the pedal wouldn't come up, so i changed the slave and it still wouldn't. Ive bled it a crap ton of times with several different methods. So i was told to check my clutch fork and make sure it was okay. I don't rightfully know how to check it. But I know it moves back and forth, up and down, side to side (etc) with no resistance. What could be the problem? Is that it? I have a new clutch kit on the way (clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing), and I have a back up trans.

Probably still has air in it. Maybe try bench bleeding the MC first, then connect the line and gravity bleed the slave a little, then bleed normally.

How do you bleed the master?

I don't know if you still have the clutch damper that's mounted to the frame rail, If you do it may be your problem. I would remove the damper. If you have a auto parts store that rents tools check and see if they have a Phonix system bleeder. You can pump fluid backwards from the slave cylinder to the master. This will push the air out the top.
