Alright, so tonight I decided to replace my clutch slave cylinder, because the old one was leaking, we installed the new one, bled the line, and all that, but now the clutch pedal is on the floor, I can pull it back to me, but it just goes back down when I let go of it, its almost like the fork isnt grabbing the slave cylinder, we had luck a few times, but it kept loosing pressure. To bleed it, we took a plastic hose, to the bleed screw, pumped the clutch, depressed it and re tightned the screw, I dont really know what could have happened wrong. Before this the clutch worked fine, went into gear, master cylinder is working good from what I can tell.

If anyone can help out, that would be amazing. its a 92 hatch, d15b swap, P20 Tranny.

My best bet would be the master cylinder is bad or you got a bad slave...

no joke, I went through 2 master, and 3 slave cylinders in 1 night because they were all faulty parts, even though I was buying new. I'd try a different master, then slave. Did you check to make sure the actual pedal looks right? Spring is good, adjustment rod isn't on fire? etc.

If the fluid doesnt come out in a steady stream, there is still air in the system. Make sure that is happening.

Also, be sure you havent ran your reservoir low from bleeding the lines.

Sounds like you still have air in your line. Try bleding it until you get a steady stream of fluid coming out. Or maybe its a faulty new part.

You made mistake where you pumped your clutch, you still have air in the system. You have to bleed it just like you bleeding brakes.

when you have your clutch pedal down and hold it down, then bleed it from the slave and close up the screw at the slave and let off the clutch pedal. Do this a couple of time until you have a stream fluid and make sure you master cylinder is not low on fluid while you doing this.
