So heres the problem i bleed the clutch with the engine off and she feels good but when i start the engine up the pedal drops and you have to push the pedal to the floor and HOPE she'll go in gear then when you let off the clucth the pedal wont come all the way. What the deal should i keep bleeding :mad:

Third arm... :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:

Seriously though 88_acro... improper bleeding is mostly the cause of what your currently experiencing IMO, next time you bled your hydraulic clutch system; try this steps.

Slightly open the bled screw
Slowly depress the clutch pedal
Close bled screw when the pedal reaches the end of its travel
Allow the clutch pedal to return slowly

Repeat sequence 4-5 times until air bubbles are all expelled out, hope this helps... ;)
This is what we do except i pump the pedal a few time FIRST and it works great except when you start the car its like i did nothing! ive bleed brakes and clutched on my other cars but this one is being a bee itch

ok so i finally found my problem after this long; all i had to do was adjust the clutch pedal. On the back of the pedal there is an arm that pushes against the master loosen then lock nut and back the arm out of the pedal and voila.
