here is my problem: my cluch pedal was feeling really soft so i decided to change my slave cylinder. after bleeding i get pressure as long as i continue to pump(not good pressure, but some pressure)as soon as i stop pumping u know already pedal falls to floor. put old slave in same thing. still have box next to slave. no leaks under carpet or from lines have often clutch master cylinders go and do they go just like that?

Yeah, sounds like your master is gone. The diaphragm inside is leaking and not building pressure properly. My buddy's s13 had that problem.

i would just change your master also.

its not that expensive.

or you can rebuild it for cheap.

Its basically makes it feel more mushy and light for stock drivers. Only reason. More headache cause you gotta reverse bleed it. Conventional bleeding doesn't work. Only reason.
