It could be the master or the slave because the samething happened to me, all we did was lift it back up and it was fine...

So you should check both out.

While you were bleeding it, you didn't run out of fluid in the reservoir or let air in it did you? You have to bleed it until their is no air in the lines. I'm not a mechanic so I can't really help you. I was just offering a suggestion. If it was working before you changed it then it is probably in the lines or maybe an adjustment on the pedal. Good luck.

yeah lift the pedal back up

when you push the pedal down is it just stuck sitting there or it loose?

it gets stuck there but its loose at the same time.. its just extremely easy to push down and doesnt come back up when you push it down

broken release bearing/snap ring... My clutch died recently the same way...
You need to get under the car and see - does really fork move when you press pedal... And if it moves - problem isn't in cylinders... Are you sure cluch and release mechanism assembled right?

me and this guy who is a mechanic at a shop put a new clutch and flywheel and whatnot in. i didnt check i the fork moves when the pedal goes in ill have to check it out.. so if it doesnt move though then its the cylinders or something?

ok i checked. the rod in my slave cylinder is right up tight against the fork but when i move the pedal the slave cylinder doesnt do anything.. when i first put it in it wasnt tight against the fork at all but now it is but it just stays there.

Need help!
I'm having transmission problems.
So... I was driving on friday afternoon and took it kinda on the outskirts of a small town so it was like country driving. I wasn't pushing it but I was downshifting from 3rd to 2nd so I could get on it a bit.
I pushed the clutch in and proceeded to put it into second. It wouldn't go so I let off the clutch pedal and the pedal had dissappeared. It was stuck fully depressed. So I coasted to a safe spot and messed with it. I had to pull it back into place with my hand. Then after that it wouldn't go into any gear... Only neutral. Waited a few min and it worked but was jerky. Got it to a neighborhood where we let it cool off even more. It was fine driving home. felt like normal by the time I got back home.

Saturday afternoon I back the supra out and into the street and put it in 1st. It's real jerky and you almost have to let all the way off of the clutch pedal in order for the gear to engage? What happened? I don't think my clutch is gone because it was fine right before the pedal stuck and when I was driving home it was fine. Now it's jerky and sounds bad.

I have heard different theories. Some said slave cylinder, maybe I lost clutch fluid? Air in the line? I dunno what to do but I just don't see how the clutch could be fine one sec and then be funky the next, then fine again and funky the next time. I need help. This is my first supra and manual transmission so I am totally lost. I have the TSRM's but I dunno where to start.

I took some pics... can be found here
