    If you have replaced clutch master and slave, pedal still on floor and does not come up. It is probably because you have to bleed the system to develop pressure again. It is not a quick task, especially introducing those new components (more air into system). It takes a bit to bleed, just keep at it and do it properly. Use the clutch slave cylinder bleeder screw to get air out. Make sure to not reintroduce air into system, same concept as brakes. Have someone lift and push down clutch pedal by hand for you. If you have a one-man brake bleeder kit, use that.

        I had the same problem while bleeding the clutch by myself, pumping the slave by hand got me enough pressure to keep the peddle off the floor

          Had the same problem when I changed my clutch...Do what southsidecb7z said, start by bleeding the slave by hand until the pedal gets a little pressure. After MANY unsuccesful attempts I realized I needed to use a jar with a tube on the bleeder valve. Done in like 10mins after that.

          This vid helped me, don't worry about removing the fork though, I didn't http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj1dMdYgRK4

            You may have to bleed at the master cylinder first and then the whole system. What you can do to bleed the master is have someone pump the pedal a few times then hold it down. While the pedal is held down crack open the clutch line on the firewall right at the master cylinder. Repeat this process 4-6 times then proceed with bleeding the whole system normally at the slave.

              fill the res first open bleeder let it gravity feed, then a rubber hose and put it on the bleeder and in a jar of fluid, then keep the bleeder open and pump it till no bubbles come out, be sure to watch fluid level. Just today, I changed my master cylinder and bleed it and was driving within 20 minutes.
              wat?

                when my clutch line had a hole in it, it took me about 10 minutes to get enough pressure.
