Clutch Gremlins 2

[blck325is]

Hmm so around midnight friday night I went to my car and discovered a completely dead clutch pedal, like all the way to the ground. I already replaced my clutch master cylinder so I guess it's my slave cylinder. This has happened twice since then and each time I've used my pressure bleeder to get the pedal back up so I can drive. Other than the slave, what else might I be worried about?

If any of the lines or the slave are leaking, you have the cause. If no leaks, the master cylinder is bad.

Slave cylinder is a good place to start, sometimes leaky slaves will have fluid visible on the outside of the bell housing, usually you need to unbolt them to spot the leak though.

When installing the new part, be sure to center the pushrod into the throw-out arm indent. It's easier to do right than wrong but I have seen sloppy techs get the pushrod off center which causes a heavy clutch pedal and all kinds of premature wear on the cylinder/throw out bearing/arm.

i would suspect the master cylinder is bad.
