clutch has no pressure
so i stared bleeding out my clutch because the pedal feels like it has no pressure. after i crack it loose the pedal stays on the floor and i have to pull it up and pump once or twice more to get it to come up on its own and now ive bled all the old fluid out and it still feels very light, any ideas??

If there is a load of air in the system, it is not unusual for the pedal to stick to the floor a few times during bleeding. The RX-7 clutch pedal does tend to feel light compared to other cars.
Did you just get the car or have you had it for a while? You may just not be used to the feel of the clutch.
Of course, if the clutch was fine and then just got soggy, then replace all the hydraulics and hoses.

I had the same problem when i bought my '84 GS..found out that the 25 year old line had a pin hole in it near the slave cylinder..check to see if that is wet...if is cheap to replace..i paid 13$ for a quick replacement...also make sure that the clutch master cylinder isn't leaking either..had to rebuild BOTH slave and master for good pressure..after clutch line and rebuild kits it set me back $45...whoo-hoo Just check...cant hurt much just looking?

I'm not sure if this helps, but I have a '79 rx7 and the clutch is very very light compared to the car I learned stick on ( '63 Ford Galaxie 500). Compared to the galaxie, the rx7 clutch has absolutely no resistance. I haven't had any problems with shifting though.
