major clutch problems, need help, suggestions?
hey, was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on my 944 problem. i am bleeding the clutch and theres 75% air coming out, and iv been going at it for a while, the clutch pedal just snaps down to the floor when pushed and has to be pulled up, so i tried a hand pump pressure bleeder and same thing. it just seems like it keeps pulling fluid with 50-75% air and no end. Is it possible that theres a clog or one of the cylinders is bad. the weird thing is that it was working before and now nothing. and i think the clutch master cylinder is leaking but im not sure if its actually brake fluid, and that wouldnt explain why the clutch was working b4. any help would b appreciated. Thanks

Blown seals or cracked/damaged tubing would be my first guess due to constantly bleeding air through the system.

things always stop working at some point.. just because "it worked before" doesn't mean that it cant 'not work' now.... sounds to me like you need a new clutch master and slave cylinder...

Make sure your brake fluid level is above where the clutch hose draws from on the reservoir. (Eh?) You're probably just sucking air through 'cause the fluid level in the reservoir has dropped too far.
