clutch bleeding problem

[bcrume]

my clutch engagement started to get lower and lower, I decided there might be some air in the line so I went to bleed from the slave cylinder. I opened the valve and fluid poured out. Every time I've bled something it's never leaked any fluid like that. I know the car has the dampner box and can be hard to bleed but I guess my question is could it be air in the line/box or is the master cylinder dead?

Sounds like a dead MC to me. Like the piston is out putting pressure on the system which would explain the leak you experienced.

if there is air in the clutch lines, then the pedal would be super soft, it won't just sink down like that. It very well may be a bad MC and SC.

new master and slave cylinders time.

You can get both new on ebay for like... $60

thepartsbin.com has them both for $45, does anyone know if sachs is a good company? I was gonna get the nismo slave cylinder but then I read that all it does is make the clutch less stiff and it doesn't work with clutches that have multiple plates.

Sachs is a very good German automotive parts company. If it matters anything, Blitz uses Sachs' products for their own clutches and shock absorbers.
