Clutch

wut up.. 1 day i went out to go to work.. i get in my car and my clutch feels funny. It has like 1/8 the pressure it normally has and shifts are very hard. i pulled out.. and the clutch grabbed rite off the floor. NO CLUTCH TRAVEL WHATSOEVER. then i get to an intersection and my clutch pedal is on the floor and wont come back up (I HAD NO CLUTCH!!) and i couldnt shift for **** or it would just grind... so i pushed it back to my house.. looked at clutch fluid and it was almost empty.. like 2or 3 mls left... so i threw some in.. and pumped the clutch a billion times.. and it works for a few shifts but then goes back to nothing... where is the bleeder for the clutch fluid... OR is there another problem thanks

There are two bleeders underneath the car. One is on a little box that has about 3 aluminum lines attached to it and the other is about 6" away nearest the transmission. If you get under your car and look at your tranny you will see the little arm sticking out the side and a clutch fluid line attached to it. The bleeder should be right there, then follow that line down and you'll find the other bleeder. Hope this helps.

i bleeded the entire system but it still will not work. the clutch pedal sticks to the floor when pressed. i think its the pressure plate. what do you think?

I think I read right when you posted you changed the Clutch Master Cylinder.

Did you correct your throw distance? The rod on the clutch master cylinder is threaded.

You might not be moving the piston enough.

Whoops sorry about that. I didn't see the slave in the question.
