No clutch pedal pressure
Alright, I have done searching and I realize that this is probably because of a failed slave cylinder, I just thought this might be a special case and would like some more input.
Background: just replaced the clutch and did a bunch of transmission work. Last time we dropped the tranny and put it back, the clutch immediately had no pressure. After manually pushing the slave back in, it seemed to "reset" and everything was fine thereafter.
This time, same thing happened, pushed it in by hand, all was well, drove the car and it was fine.
what happened: I was adjusting the clutch pedal under the dash. Im not exactly sure how this happened, but somehow I managed to actually get that rod out of its little brass bracket. After hours (i mean hours) of fighting I've just gotten it to go in.
the issue: Throughout the entire process, I could physically push the rod into the fire wall and it would exert pressure normally. It seems that as soon as i got it back into the bracket that this all started happening.
Did I blow it this time? I dont really see any leaks or anything.

EDIT: Well, turns out i busted the diaphragm on the slave, did end up leaking everywere. Not sure how but I had another one lieing around, swapped it and got a speed bleeder and solved the issue.
