Default Clutch on floor but still driveable

Just bleed my clutch 3 times now and clutch still has air in it. Car still drive normal but the clutch pedal is just to the floor and will not come up at all.

Btw, the clutch isn't leaking any fluid at all. It drives normal but the clutch is just stay low to floor and will switch to any gear normally.

get ready to drop the transmission and replace the slave cylinder.

it sucks but it is going out, trust me on this one. the oem slave is plastic and there was a recall done on them... you may or may not be able to claim it (if it already hasn't been done). if you replace with oem IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN, for me it was about a year after i replaced. get the zspeed heavy duty one with the wilwood master and never look back

Well that sucks, I'll just order next paycheck.

If the clutch isn't leaking any fluid and drives like it normally does with no hiccups. shouldn't there be another way around it?

z1 makes a kit for it to0, i helped a buddy put one in and in the instructions it says that it will require adjustments a couple times a year.... turned me off. the zspeed once it is installed you never have to touch it

Hey, my clutch is finally fixed(For now).Took for a test drive after the 5th bleed and it's staying up and sturdy like it usually does. I'm going to place an order for the Zspeed Friday. I changed the slave twice and if it does go out again, I'm not putting another stock one on my car.
