ok here is the problem.. i was driving back home with the everything fine but the next morning when i started the car and step on the clutch, it was as soft as a sponge so i check the fluid level, and find out it is empty, so i trace for leaks around the line and stuff and find out both of the master and slaver cylinder is dead so i replaced them both and bleed them,i used dot 3 fluid btw. after i bleed them i still feel no pressure. after many tries it worked. i drive it arond for couple blocks to make sure it is fine. and no problem so far. but at the same night that i got the thing done. i start the car step on the clutch, it has no pressure again. so i check the fluid level and see if it is at the right level or leaks anywhere. but i haven't found anything wrong with it. then after a while the pedal has pressure again. so i take the car out and drive a little and see what's wrong with it and then it lose pressure again while i m driving...
can anyone tell me what the heck is wrong with this pos ? i'm getting too frustrated with it, finals are coming and i need to use the damn thing everyday to get to school and i can't do a thing with the clutch not working right. any suggestion of fixing it ? thanks in advance. sorry about the bad grammar because i can't concentrate anymore because i have too much bad things happen to me lately.

did you adjust the pushrod on the master cylinder when you put a new one in?

Did you bleed it from the "damper" box as well? If not you will still have air in the line. Its the box thing after the line from the M/C and before the slave. You can also run the hard line directly to the soft line and eliminate the box.(i have it done) I suggest this as it makes bleeding the line about a 5 minute job.
