Default slave question?

I just installed a new clutch slave cylinder and when i tried to bleed it the clutch would still just stick to the floor. That would lead me to believe that the master needs to be replaced as well, unless I did something wrong... But I don't think so.

Also if the master needs to be replaced, where should I look into getting parts locally. Someone said clearwater mitsu? Are there any other suggestions?

My bleeding process went perfectly, bled it probably 20 times, the last five times there were no bubbles, everything according to the vfaq. It stuck once or twice on the first test drive but since then it's been perfect, back to normal. Do you see any leaks from the master? Maybe you just need to bleed it more, sometimes they just don't want to evacuate the air.

As far as parts go, I got my slave cyl rebuild kit from brandon, but just because they were close and it was a cheap part. Clearwater MAY give some sort of discount, I'm about to search for the thread art posted to see.

*edit* They give 10% off to tr members.

I was just going about bleeding it wrong, I forgot to slide the socket over the vacuum hose to be able to tighten and loosen the valve. Now i just have to find a hose that will fit through the socket and over the valve, since the one i bought doesnt fit through.

Oh yeah, that part of the vfaq. I just used some random vacuum hose I had from when I shortened the boost controller lines the last owner had used, and I didn't use a socket, I just used a wrench, don't know the technical name for them, the wrench that has the round end and the wrench end. I used that to tighten it and loosen it without any real problems, and so far the bleed job is working great, good as new clutch pedal pressure and etc. and no sticking after the first few minutes of driving.
