Clutch bleeding

Hey guys I'm having some issues trying to bleed my clutch system.

Basically I'm convinced my clutch master went out on me. I was driving and all of a sudden I started hearing a weird noise and it got harder and harder to get into gear untill I couldn't anymore. When the cars off I can go into every gear. And when I start the car in first it rolls forward when I crank.

Went and bought a new clutch master and installed it and I'm still not able to shift. I've tried bleeding it and still nothing. And while I'm bleeding it the pedal stays down on the floor. I bench bleed the master cylinder before I installed it.

Doubt it's my slave cylinder cause there's no leaks and I still see the end piece popping out to push on the fork.

Anyone have any input please??

Car is a 1990 NA in case that helps.

There is a possibility it is your slave. I just changed mine last week after 3-4 months of bleeding it, it finally quit and wouldn't hold pressure. When you bleed it, does the fluid keep going down? If it you bleed it 3 or 4 times and need to add more fluid again, it's pushing past a seal, either in the master, or the slave, so if your floor is wet by your pedals, its the master. For me, my slave cylinder was leaking right at the bottom of the boot, so I didn't actually see it leak until I pulled it off. It's super easy to change, I had mine replaced and bled in 15 minutes, even while showing my gf how to do it if she ever has a fc.

I was thinking it was my slave but I see movement but I guess it can still be done even if it moves with the clutch? The fluid keeps going down cause I'm opening the bleeder screw yes. Ima take mine off and inspect it for leaks or something. Thanks for the input man.
