Re: clutch pedal stays down

You installed the tension spring right? Its usually not the line pressure that returns the pedal, its a spring, but if its going to the floor with little resistance then it needs to be bled more.

Re: clutch pedal stays down

that big spring on the pedal? ya its always been on, if your talking about the spring for the clutch fork than no but thats pulling the fork in another direction anyways,

i've been bleeding it for like 4hrs with no change.

Re: clutch pedal stays down

The clutch master cylinder does not have a pressure retaining valve in it like the brake. So it is probably pulling air through the cups. Try just opening the slave bleeder, and let gravity bleed it out.
