I've been fighting with this car since I bought it and now I can't seem to get the clutch bleed right. I've opened the bleed screw and pumped out the fluid but still am not getting any compression to my clutch pedal. Got any advice?

If not master then where is air getting in. In my many years of repair and 12yrs at Mitsu always replace master and slave as a set.

Ya thats how ive done every other clutch. But I onjly replaced the one because I questioned the mechanics judgment and turn out I was right. Sum how the "brand new" clutch kit the guy had installed the week before I bought the car had the pressure plate burn up in it. Not sure how or why but I guess its time for sum wrench time of my own

Sound like they put a disc in and nothing else your right if you want it done right do it yourself. Some people in my profession give us all a bad rep.
