Stephen,
This happens on these cars, if you push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor. Just put you foot under it & pull it up. Once you have bleed all the old fluid out and have tightened the bleed screw, make sure you have a full brake fluid reservoir. Then to get the clutch to work again, pump it 10-15 times real quick. You will find it to start working again. The clutch fluid comes from the brake reservoir and is gravity feed. Takes awhile to get the fluid back in the system. Hope this helps.

Help! I was flushing the clutch system the other day and now I have a problem. I opened the bleeder screw and had an assistant push the pedal but it didn't come back up off the floor. Everything was working ok before I tried to flush the old fluid out. Now I can't get it to pressure up at all. Is it air locked? Any ideas on what's wrong. Thanks.
