305 V6 w/ 3speed. The clutch has NO resistance to it and about half way down it gets pulled to the floor and you have to pull it back up. I have replaced the master Cyl, slave Cyl, clutch kit, and hyd. clutch line. still does it!!!!!!!

You may have air in the system. Have someone push in the clutch while you watch the fork. It should start moveing as soon as the pedal does. The linkage may need adjusting. Push the rod all the way back pushing the piston back in the slave cylinder. You should have about a 1/4 in of free play. Also check for free play in the master cyl. push rod. If all that is good you may have something wrong with the clutch its self.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

If it's a diaphragm clutch you might need to make a pedal stop. They will "over-center" if pushed too far in.All you need to do is make sure your adjustment is right,and build some sort of bumper to stop your pedal before it goes far down enough to over-center the clutch.
BTW-diaphragm clutches have light pedal pressure by design,and when used with a hydraulic clutch pedal,even lighter.As long as it releases when you push down and doesn't slip when you let up,no worries.
