I Need Help Bad!!!

i have an 84' gsl with a few mods (intake, exhaust, stickier clutch) its cool and all, but when i push the clutch in to shift, the clutch sticks in- then doesn't come back up. i have bled the clutch already, and it didn't work. your answers would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the clutch master is bad, the bore has an obstruction or the seal is toast. Do you
get a steady stream of fluid out of the slave cylinder when bleeding it? rx7doctor

When you pull the pedal back up by hand and try to pump it up does it gain any hydraulic
pressure? rx7doctor

pull back the boot on the slave cylinder and check to see if there is any fluid there, if so
its the slave cylinder, if not its the master. rx7doctor

it's better to swap them both at the same time.. a new master can kill the old slave, vise versa..
