I would bring the car to a local mechanic. You have a few threads on clutch problems.

clutch system history any ideas?

history:

I installed new slave and master cylinder....
I bought a speedbleeder screw for the slave cylinder

I bled my clutch with the speedbleeder until there was no more bubble in the liquid...
Pump the clutch 3-4 times...it get stiff
But after 20-30 other pump, the pedal stick to the floor

any ideas??

When you installed the master cylinder did you fill it with fluid. I replaced my master cylinder recently and since I did not want the hassle of trying to install it with fluid already in it (don't even know how I would have gone about that) I ended up having to bleed the system for a long time. It took over an hour and I went through 12-14 oz of fluid before I was done. Perhaps you are bleeding the slave, but there are still bubbles (I'm guessing lots of them) in the master and the associated lines.

would it be a good idea to ask someone to pump 4-5 times on the clutch pedal and stay the pedal to the floor..then open the MASTER cylinder screw (not slave) and close it..and do this operation about 5 times....(to remove the air in the master)

????
