A lot of bubbles in the clutch line

So my slave cylinder was leaking from so I replaced it and I'm getting bubbles in the system that never end. I have no leaks elsewhere. The line is like no more then 2 feet long how come there are so many bubbles.

make sure the bleeder is closed and your flex line is secured Tightly to the slave.
Is there not a copper washer that goes in between the line and slave?( I could be wrong as I am an FC guy).

No i didn't i bleed it the best i can without bench bleeding and it was barely enough to pull the pressure plate and let the clutch freely but after a few hours the pedal becomes dead...im going to bench bleed the slave and the master

Okay, so i bench bleed the slave and it was a lot easier to take out the bubbles. Then I adjusted the rod in the clutch pedal further out like half and inch. It worked!
