Clutch staying down when pressed, no pressure...

I have a 1999 Honda Prelude (base) 5spd. I have around 119k. I recently found when I press the clutch pedal in, it feels as if there is NO pressure and it doesn't come back up. I bled the system, thinking I may have gotten some air in there. This did not help. I replaced the master and slave cylinder and bled the system again. This did not help. When I press the clutch in/out, the fork does NOT move. I was told I may have a leak somewhere but I've checked all the lines and found nothing. The fluid level does not change when I press the clutch in/out several times. Thanks for any advice...

When you crack open the bleeder on the slave unit do you get fluid coming out with pressurel? If so, The master is ok. Now if the fork does not move then your slave unit is bad. It is a pretty simple system.

I found the problem. I just had not bled the system enough. Once more extensive bleeding was done, all was good!
