I went through a problem where my clutch would stick to the floor while using it. Then after a week I would step on it lightly and it would depress itself so I replaced the slave and master cylinders and bled the clutch for hours. And it still feels like there is no pressure in the hydraulics at all. What could be the problem? I have tried many techniques and still nothing.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Okay, I went to identify the specifics for bleeding the system only to find nothing. However, there is a community section on alldata where techs identify problems and how they solved them. I listed the two techniques, which I have never tried, but were listed. You should get a kick out of the tooling they used.

Use a syringe or marinade injector from bleeder valve at the clutch slave cylinder and push good, clean, fluid with no air in it back through the system to see if the system will burp the air out.

Got a flavor injector for a turkey (as it seemed large enough) and filled it with brake fluid. Pushed fluid back through the system from bleeder at the slave cylinder. This action bled the air out and now it has a good clutch pedal.

You have to let me know if this works.

Take care,
