Aaahhh

I just replaced my clutch slave cylinder and flex hose. When I went to bleed the clutch the pedal has no resistance and just falls to the floor. There sounds like air escaping as well. Is my master cylinder also dead?

Thanks

did you pump the clutch to rebuild pressure?

all three should be replaced at the same time, but you may have gotten air inside the master which will need to be purged first

Well **** me up the goat *** and call me Billy. Ok I got my clutch bled now. But now I can't engage any gears its stuck in neutral. When I have my foot off the clutch it makes a weird whirring sound that goes away when the clutch pedal is down. Am I going to have to replace my clutch now?

You may still have air in the lines, the whirring sound may be your clutch not completely disengaging which would also be why you cant shift into any gears. Try bleeding it again or flushing it w/ new fluid.

Sounds like there is still air in there... Your slave is not even engaging from your description
