Default More clutch problems

And again my clutch pedal is stuck on the ground.. could it possibly be the slave again? Does anyone else have repeated clutch problems?

Did you bleed it properly? And when you replaced your slave, did you replace the O-ring thats on the quick coupler to the slave?

I always replace slave/master as a set to keep this from happening to me. Check the connection again as posted above and get a friend to help you pump the clutch till it is firm again.

Easiest way to pump it up is to have the bleeder wide open and have someone start pouring the brake fluid in the master (make sure you remove the float ). Once the fluid comes out at a consistent stream from the bleeder. Close it off and just start pumping it and don't stop starts to build up and there is little play.

They are self bleeding and eventually after some normal driving all the air will be pushed out and it will feel normal again. But all this will be useless if the connections aren't on properly.

I was never lucky enough to discover the self-bleeding feature on my f150's...i used a power bleeder last time i changed the setup and never had another problem since.
