Default Clutch Problems

Need help. Replaced slave cylinder on 97 boxter. When manually bleeding air out of system pedal goes to floor, once bleed valve is closed pedal has to be manually pulled back up, and will only depress 1/2 way. Any suggestions

Thanks
Mark

Thanks for the info. Please advise the best way. I used a utube suggestion Gatorade bottle with clear hose connected to bleed valve and pump clutch until no visible air. What would you suggest.

Thanks again

suggesting having someone help you, using a power bleeder or having a shop do it for you. Should only take a shop an hour to bleed the system but be careful, get the fluid too low and you will have to bleed the brakes also since they share the same system.
