Ok guys so I put a new clutch in my car. Followed all the diys and checked and double checked all my work. My issue is when I press the clutch pedal in it goes straight to the floor. No resistance and will not come back up unless I pull it up with my foot. The clutch fork is on the throw out bearing just like every picture shows. Everything looks just fine. Has fluid and everything looks great. Just like I said I checked everything yet all I get is the clutch going straight to the floor. Any help would be great! Need to get this car running again tonight!! Thanks.

I had this happen to me, i had to bleed the clutch fluid line, and had to clean the clutch reservoir had stuff in it

Make sure that nipple is actually hitting clutch rod and not going past it. I had the same issues coz I took it out to sand blast that nipple to make smooth again coz the clutch pedal was making squeaking sound.

This^ but i dont know how you would get air in the system just by a clutch install? The only thing you mess with is un-bolting the slave cylinder from the side of the transmission, and its possible you didnt connect the clutchfork onto the throwout bearing, you can almost feel a click when pushing it onto it.

Ha! It was air in the clutch line. Lots of it. Had to go back and bleed more and more and it's perfect!!
