Yea, i have replace both master and slave cylinder and it still stay on the floor. I bled it with those one man bleeder kit and yes it still stay on the floor. From what i can think of as for now it has to be the clutch. Since i dont have money at the moment, i might end up selling her. It will be very sad to let her go since i have put some much time, money and effect into her.

Thanks guy all all the advices.

Well, have someone depress the clutch(several times by hand) while you watch the linkage AT the slave cylinder. If the rod does not extend on the slave cylinder, then it needs bleeding.
Won't take any time at all to check out. Just a minute or two max.

EDIT: Well I could be an idiot. IF the clutch linkage/arm/lever is broken, then the slave rod would be fully extended and nothing to push it back into the slave cylinder to make the pedal come back up. Oh well.

Usually when I put a new slave in and have to bleed it myself, I fill the reservoir, pump the pedal by hand several times. Then loosen the slave bleed nipple a touch and sit on my *** for a half hour as the fluid from the reservoir slowly passes thru the lines to the slave and out the bleed nipple. I let it dribble out for a half reservoir or so, then tighten the bleed screw and pump by hand again. This time the pedal usually comes up. Then I loosen the bleed screw again for a few minutes, shut it off and that usually does it for me.
