When i got my new cluth I had absolutly no pressure. After about 2 days of driving it stiffened itself back up. Been great for 4 weeks now.
You bleed it right? You made sure no air was in the system what so ever? Is your master cylinder ok?
You need a pressure bleeder to do the job adequately, IMO. Either that or an entire afternoon.
Bleed it at leas 10 times, and then a couple more for good measure. It took at least that before mine started to feel normal, or use a pressure bleeder if you have access to one like teamDFL said.
is a pressure bleeder the type that you hook to an air compressor if so i cant borrow one from work
some pressure bleeders have a pump.

You should be ok if you just pump the pedal up a few times and hold, THEN crack the bleeder.

Thats how i did mine a couple months ago and eveything went really smooth.
FocusSport has a "power bleeder" kit you can buy. I don't remember the price, but it is on their website.

Really great tool, especially if you own more than 1 vehicle lol...
ok so i bleed the clutch many times got all the bubbles out. if i push the clutch to floor it does not go into gear but if i put it slightly off the floor goes in perfect. what would cause this? can it just be adjusted?
