Still, air might be getting into the lines.

Try just bleeding them. See what that does.

i suggest getting a vacume hand pump from autozone. just hook it up to your bleeder fitting and pump away, just make sure your resevoir never goes dry.

i was thinking the lines need bled also.. here is how i was told( the hayens manual) to bleed the lines..

get a small hose that fits tightly on the bleeder tip. get a small conainter with about 1inch of brake/clutch fluid in it.. put the end of the hose in it. have a friend go pump the clutch then hold it down while you open the bleeder. make sure tehy keep it held down. close the bleeder tell them to let off the clutch..

repeat that untill you get a steady stream of just fluid, no air.. make sure to keep tabs on the fluid level in the resevuor because if it runs low it will just suck air into the lines. the hose and fluid in container is just a saftey thing incase your friend lets off the clutch when the bleeder is open so that way it sucks fluid in instead of air.. you dont really need it.

I am just going to have the car towed to the shop and have them replace, well everything. Im going to order a act 2100 lb clutch and light flywheel(What is a good brand flywheel?). As well as have them replace the master and slave cylinder and get ss lines. I just dont have the time of day to personally work on the car right now becuase of my hours at work and i need the car fixed asap becuase it is my dd. Figured I might as well take this chance to upgrade as well.

well this sounds like a good choice as long as you have the money, but i dont know why you would do all that when you could at least try just bleeding it first
