Hi I have a 93' xlt I was driving and all of a sudden no clutch, pedal wnt to the floor with nothing behind it I have changed both master cylinder and slave cylinder , I think I bled system right but still nothing. Can anyone help?
 






while you had the tranny out to replace the slave cylinder, was there any debris from the cluth disc ? or did you replace the clutch & pressure plate, also ?

I bought a vacuum type brake bleeder from Harbor Freight tools that works well when bleeding that type slave cylinder.

Jack...thinks it sounds like clutch assy. problems....
 






did'nt notice any debris, after I changed slave cylinder and tried bleeding I looked and did'nt see any movement on the throwout bearing . when I replaced the master cylinder I did'nt bench bleed the cylinder , could this bs the problem
 






Bench bleeding the master helps, but usually it's just a matter of getting air in the system.

Depending on how you're bleeding it and your whole setup, it can take quite a lot of bleeding before you get pressure on the pedal, and still even longer before you get a steady stream of air bubbles coming out and slowly less and less so you know you're doing it right.

If you learn how to do it, you can disconnect the system and not get much air in there and have less bleeding to do, but once you get air in there or have the system open, there's not really anything else you can do but bleed until you get pedal pressure back.

Make sure you're doing it right (bleeding fluid into fluid/filled container, opening bleeder screw only with fluid coming out, closing bleeder screw mid/bleed each time before air can be sucked back in, refilling fluid reservoir every bleed or every other bleed, etc.) and you should get it working eventually.
