this sounds like something that happened to me.

I dont know to much about the clutch system, but my friend that fixed it said that it was a hydrolic line thing. All i did was swap it out and it worked like a charm.

so idk if you should check that or not.

if you bled it and problem persists, it could be

1.master cylinder
2.small leak on clutch line
3.slave master cylinder
4.didnt get all the air out

its not that hard to diagnose. if you cant figure out a simple hydraulic issue then you dont deserve a 7.

sorry, i feel like a douche cause i cant go back to sleep. lol

You need One person to press on the Clutch while the other one is cracking the bleeder.
Do This:Fill the Master up with fluid.Put the cap on.
get the guy to Pump up the clutch and hold.(holding is important while you crack the bleeder and tighten it back up).
Crack the bleeder,and some air and fluid should come Out.Tighten bleeder.
Pump again and hold.,crack bleeder,.
Repeat until fluid comes out in a Steady Flow.
NOW,IF no fluid is coming out,,that means the Master is not getting fluid to the slave.
NO problem!.Get a Clear hose and put it over the bleeder,crack the bleeder open and SUCK on the Hose!..DO NOT get any Fluid IN your Mouth!
Once you see fluid come into the hose then Close the bleeder.You can always leave the Clear Hose ON,and it will let you SEE if the fluid coming out of the bleeder has air in it still.
When no Air comes out of the bleeder,and the fluid is Clear.Close the bleeder,.
You are DONE..clutch should be OK.
Remember to Top up the Master,..at NO time should your Master go Below the Bottom of the Cup.IF it does, you have to start bleeding all over again.
