    I need help figuring out how to fix my clutch pedal, I have a trip on monday and need my truck badly. I just replaced the clutch master cylinder and the pedal just goes all the way to the floor, i did the slave cylinder bleeding trick, have pushed the clutch pedal all the way in, bled it, and released it but no dice. At the moment the truck is on blocks in the rear and the tires are aired out in the front for the gravity trick. Am praying that will work but if it doesn't what else? I've tried everything for over 4 hours and can't get it. 2005 2.7 5 speed.

    Bleeding alone is near impossible. Especially on a replacement. I've never had gravity bleed work on a clutch.

    What I do is crack the bleeder, hold my finger over the bleeder, and create resistance on the piston while someone is pumping.

    Once I have range of motion I do a "regular bleed" with pumping and holding.

    Try bleeding the slave cylinder. Just push the rubber boot in on slave. I recently lost my clutch pedal cuz of leaky line and that is where I bled it
