rx-8 clutch problems

So my clutch for my 2006 6-speed manual doesn't work and gives zero resistance. I have bled it for hours, bought a brand new clutch master and slave. and it still gives zero pressure so I'm at a complete loss. the brakes are connected and completely bled so I have no clue what the issue could be. and I checked the pedal bracket, its in perfect shape.

Took a bit when I replaced all those pieces last winter. Used a vacuum bleeder on the slave cylinder side to make everything happy.

Bench bleeding and a vacuum bleeder make this job much easier. Its possible you still have air trapped in the system.

Why did you replace the master and slave? Were you having problems before? Is it at all possible that your issues are related to the clutch disc, pressure plate, or throwout(release) bearing?
