Still can't bleed clutch

Tried the mighty vac. Went okay minor complications haha still doesn't work. when the air bubbles stopped after letting it sit for a few minutes closed off the bleeder valve. Pressed down the clutch pedal and still stuck to the floor. I have no idea what or where to start at this point so any help would be great feeling quite frustrated with this car

You have to pull it up by hand, maybe a few times even ...

Once you get to that point there is no way you can bleed it without applying vacuum at slave cylinder end or pressure at brake reservoir (1-2psi)

It’s not bled properly then. Did you try doing that with the vacuum on it? Otherwise you need someone else to help and do it the old fashioned way. I don’t like using a vacuum for bleeding myself.

Yes I did use a vacuum on it. Pulled vacuum until all air bubbles stopped and was a solid stream of fluid closed off bleeder. I don't see how it could be bleed wrong I mean sure maybe a little bit of air left in the line but I would get some pedal feel back right? If only a small amount of air was in the line. Is something else wrong or broken within the clutch hydraulics system maybe. Find it hard considering just installed new mc, sc, and ss line

you may have a bad clutch or master. look at reservoir when someone moves clutch with their hand. if fluid moves the master is probably bad. also I've never had success vac bleeding clutch on other cars. pressure bleeding or the 2 man method seems to work better.
