Default Soft clutch

Just finished a Change out of my slave cylinder, have tried for hours bleeding my lines and slave, but it is still soft, and my system had been bled so much it's a complete flush, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I have air in the master cylinder, but not sure how to resolve it.

It is a tough system to bleed, keep trying

You may have a bad master cyl, they can leak internally, so you won't see a leak or loss of fluid

theres a really good vid showing how its done in the how to section. because of the bend in the line. Makes it a pita to bleed. Need to take the whole thing out to bench bleed it. Then reinstall to gravity bleed.

I have never serviced my clutch. But after watching this video I want to verify that the clutch pedal should only have about an 1/8th inch of free play in it when operating correctly???
