The clutch pedal started moving to the floor when depressed. I replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders. After I bled the system it has worked fine for 5 days. This morning the weather was warm and the clutch is engaging at the top of the pedal and will slip if you get on it in taller gears than you need to be in. The pedal was about a inch down when I installed the cylinders. I have bled them again and no air. Is there a adjustment i just don't see. Also i pumped up the clutch and held it down to bleed them.
