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:
Yeah, just keep bleeding 88_acro... probably air bubbles are not all expelled from the system, also, check clutch cable adjustment, pedal height and free play. BTW you have an assistant helping you bleed the system, right?

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... ;)

...well, if another round of bleeding doesn't address your issue 88_acro... then above symptoms could also be a cause of "Partial Disengagement" that occurs when there is a problem with the hydraulic clutch release system, check for a bad master or slave cylinder.

It is also possible that there might be an internal leak in the master cylinder, to test for an internal leak is to pump the clutch pedal and hold it to the floor while starting the engine, if the clutch slowly begins to engage, there is an internal leak.
