Do you get air bubbles when you bleed it, if so, it sounds like the master is sucking air when you let it up, check the firewall under it for fluid.

I'm sorta having the same problem. I put a new master cylinder in and it was cool fora few weeks, but now I have to bleed it all the time so I can drive. I even bought a pre bleed one with all new lines.

----------

Personally I'm starting to wonder if I'm getting air in the system from the slave.

Bench bled the master then pump the clutch and crack the slave to get air out then pump the clutch to build pressure

I just got this pressure bleeder, it's freakin awesome.

----------

It pushes the fluid from the bleeder out through the reservoir.

Sounds like air is never getting all the way out and/or is creeping back in around seal. One or both of the cylinders need replacing. I would start with the easy one...

I'm not sure how they are set up. I suggest going to Autozone and subsribe to the 'Repair Help-> Vehicle Repair Guides' service they offer for free - As good as any books I've found...

Shit you mean the next owner can get a new clutch. How much you reckon it's worth like it is 191xxx miles rebuilt motor at 164xxx 4x4 5speed 24" light bar
