Check your slave cylinder to see if its bad.

if you have the mazda transmission, you will have to take off the tranny and check inside the houseing.
I guess if its swetting its bad? I can't remember if thats what i read or not.

are you useing the bleeding valve?

You migh thave to pull off the slave and runn a lot of fluid through it.

what exactly is the clutch peddal doing?
does it have a lot of slack?
Dosn't feel like it's letting the clutch in all the way?

pump the pedal about 50 times with the bleeder valve shut, then open the valve and let it gravity bleed for a few mins, make sure to remove the lid from the master and keep it full, then replace the lid and pump the pedal 50 more times with the valve shut.

if the piston in the master is going. pumping will be fruitless.

push as much liquid through that **** as you can then put it back together and do it again.
