i was having problems with my clutch pedal fading while i was holding it down, sometimes causing it to stall the car as it slowly engaged the clutch, basically the same kind of symptom when the brake mastercylinder goes out and the pedal slowly sinks to the floor. anyway, i replaced the clutch master cylinder and bled the line until i got no more air out of the slave bleeder. the slave cylinder appears to be fairly new as well. the clutch worked a lot better today but still had a tendency to want to fade once or twice and the pedal feels weak. is it possible i just didnt get all the air out? any other suggestions for bleeding the system?

 

You can try bleeding the line again to get any air out. I usually have someone help me. I open the bleeder valve, have my assistant slowly push down the clutch pedal until they tell me its down. I close off the valve and have the assistant release the pedal. I check or add brake fluid in the clutch reservoir, and repeat until I don't see any air bubble coming out of the line.

If that doesn't work, then maybe the slave cylinder is the problem. I had an aftermarket one fail within a year of buying it.

 

yeah, ill probably have to replace the slave. i guess both the master and slave went bad at the same time.
