I was bleedibg clutch slave and everything was ok.
1clutch to the floor.
2open it
3bleed it
4close it
5let go of the pedal
6 pump it up
I did this process 3 times.
everything was ok. i was driving on the parking lot for 15 min and pedal stayed in the floor. I was sure I didnt tighten it right. So I have repeted the process of bleeding. 1st time was fine 2nd time I couldnt get pressure. No matter how much I pump it, it doesnt get any pressure and it stays in the floor. WheN i looked at a clutch pedal Ive noticed a leak. And the place its coming from (circle) looks really lose. That small metal bar that is pushing this (pump?) is really wiggling. Should it be moving like that? What to do? Try to open it and gravity bleed it?

Could it break after pressing clutch over 100 times to get pressure?

If i had to guess, your clutch master needs to be replaced as well. Replace it, and do yourself a favor and buy a vacuum bleeder to pull fluid through the lines saving you a lot of time priming the lines, then you can bleed the old fashoned way to ensure there are no bubbles or anything in the system.

So its normal that there is a lil leak next to the clutch?

The little leak is the seal in the master cylinder
Just replace it and you should be good

Ive been fighting with this clutch for over 20 hours. I have a brand new clutch master cylinder. Pedal still stays in the floor. I can get a lil bit pressure in it. It goes down to the floor with a lil but of resistance but doesnt go back. I am hopeless. I think that slave cylinder is fine but im not 100% sure. I dont understand one thing. When I bleed clutch. (Pump it few times>keep it on the floor>open bleeder>close bleeder. Afte closing the bleeder master cylinder doesnt return all the way. Like it cant suck in the fluid. Is it supose to be like that?

Make sure you keep the reservoir full ..... a common issue is that it gets low... and sucks in some air and you are back to square one.

the clutch on this car is a huge PIA to bleed. The easiest way is to pressure bleed it.... other than that it is almost impossible to get all the air out of it.

Are you sure you don't have any leaks between the master and slave?

By a vacuum bleeder like i mentioned to help prime the system. Then after its primed bleed the clutch as per usual procedure. Also rather than pump a few times before holding it down, try this procedure;
1) press in clutch and hold
2) open bleed valve, wait 3 seconds
3) close bleed valve
4) release/lift clutch pedal
5) go to step one and repeat until no air bubbles in clutch line.


Additionally, i like to connect some clear airline tubing to the clutch slave bleed valve and have the line come up back into the engine bay, over the brake MC, and into the corner next to the clutch MC and have it drain into a cup so i can observe color of the fluid and check for bubbles in the line while bleeding. Having the line come up so high makes sure air isnt pulled back into the bleed valve and makes bleeding much easier since you dont risk that mistake setting you back.

Brake fluid tends to glow brightly under blacklight, i would get a UV flashlight from walmart or somewhere (thats where i got mine) and check for leaks in the system at night with that. Ive very quickly found the source of many different kinds of fluid leaks with this little light and some patience.

Good luck
