If you have been bleeding it correctly(it is bled using same procedure as brakes just with the clutch pedal) you might need the clutch slave cylinder. It does take a good couple hours to bleed one of these using the conventional two person method so it could still need bleeding but if it is taking to long and your initial symptoms were brake fluid disappearing and you could not visually see the leak from a line or master cylinder then it is leaking from the clutch slave cylinder located in between the clutch and transmission. The transmission would have to be removed.

Cant get any brakes on truck.i have bleed everything including vacum bleed.why cant i get breaks to work

indicates that the piping has a rise in it that is above the master cylinder
that point will be where an air bubble is forming and that will be your problem
you may be able to get the air out using a pressure bleeder pump
try positioning the lines better or you may have to incorporate a bleeder screw at that high point
an example of this problem is in the piping of the nissan mq patrol where the brake lines in the fire wall were looped around and higher than the M/cylinder requiring a pressure bleeder pump to quickly bleed the system

I Got a 2000 ford expedition i replace front brake pads, calipers brake pedal goes all the way to the floor I replace the booster and master cylinder and the problem don't go away

I would start by bleeding the air out of the brake system starting at the longest line first. Check for fluid in the master cylinder . IF you have problems bleeding then undo the lines at the master cylinder and using your fingers a valves bleed the air out and prime the master cylinder first then bleed the system

2006 chevrolet cobalt clutch issues

Just because the master is new does not mean it isn't faulty. If you are certain you have bleed all the air from the system, I suspect you got a bad master.

Cant seem to get air out of brake system

Check to make sure there are no air leaks. Air leaks are common at brake line junctions. You could also have air trapped in the system. In this case I like to use a reverse brake bleeder, I got mine at lowes for $100, this tool forces fluid through the caliper into the lines and forces air to the master cylinder which escapes through the master cylinder bleeder. :)

First bench bleed the master cylinder. Or if its still on the car do this, have some one pump the pedal hold and open one line,do this three times, move to the next line pump three time hold and open the line. Hows the pedal. getting firmer no go ahead bleed as usual. let me know we can fix this together

Have fluid in res. lines are free bleeder has fluid but can't get preasure on clutch arm

Clutches can be a pain, do you have fluid bleed out with no air bubbles coming out, if you cant get it to bleed it works best to raise the front of the car up with a jack or as high as you can get it within reason, doing this makes the slave cylinder the highest point therefore air will travel to the highest point making it easier to bleed and get all the air out. if you still cant get it to bleed after that try letting it gravity bleed for a few minutes and then try bleeding and if that dont work possible bad master cylinder. If this is a problem that developed and you have not replaced clutch slave cylinder the slave cylinder is probably the issue

Still cant get a brake pedal.. been bleeding the lines but not getting much out of them. replaced master cylinder, still no pedal. has all new lines also

you may have to run the motor as you bleed the brakes so the abs hydraulic unit can purge any air that might be caught within the unit itself.did you bench bleed the master cylinder before installing it on the car.this can save time and reduce the possible chance of air entering the system.make sure you don`t allow the master cylinder to run low on brake fluid.i also assume that you are bleeding the brakes properly.Left front brake works with Right rear brake and Right front brake works with Left rear brake.this is how the brakes should be bleed.

I replaced clutch master cylider and sleigh cyclinder and still dont have any clutch pressure padel wont stand up and cant get any gears

?. Did you bench bleed all of the air out of the 2 master cylinders before installing on your vehicle, it sounds like that it has air in the sysytem, try bleeding the cltch master cylinder and the bleed off the slave cylinder, that should put you on par.

Im having difficulty in bleeding a cluch o a ford

clutch systems bleed just like brakes, if you have an external leak at the clutch master cylinder, then bleeding will be difficult, it should be replaced. I use a two person bleeding system, I fill the master, crack the bleeder screw open and have my 2nd push the clutch down and hold it, then I close the bleeder and tell my 2nd to release the pedal, repeat until no air is present.
