No clutch pressure! Help

No clutch pressure! Help
I've had this same problem for a solid week. When I go to push on the clutch pedal on my 2000 V6 5-speed, the pedal goes all the way to the floor with no pressure and the clutch will not disengage at all. Had a slave cylinder leak, so I replaced the slave cylinder, no more leak, but still no pressure at all. The system has also been bled in excess of 9 times to the point where no air is left in the system. I still have breaks, so the master cylinder seems to be fine. Somebody please help. This is my only car and I'm stuck with no way to work.

Your clutch and brakes don't have anything to do with each other, they each have their own master cylinder.
Since replacing the slave cylinder didn't help, the clutch master cylinder would then be the likely suspect.

Nope, they can leak internally, past the seals, which makes it lose the ability to build pressure.
That's a pretty common thing when a master goes bad, clutch or brake.

Ok, so I can build a little pressure, but not enough to actually disengage the clutch. Haven't changed the master cylinder yet, but, since it will actually build a slight bit of pressure, I wouldn't think it would be the master cylinder.

A bad master cylinder can build up some pressure, but not be able to hold under a load, like what's needed to disengage a clutch. Don't be so fast to count it out.
