For some reason it seems I just cant get all of the air out of the hydraulic system on the clutch.

Preface:
Stock Master/Slave Cylinders
ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid
DXD Feramic 6-puck clutch

Symptoms:

I start the car up and with the clutch rod threaded all the way out (farthest travel possible) the clutch engagement is pretty much right off the floor. If I hold the clutch to the floor and rev the motor up to 6-7k RPM's the car starts to creep forward (which indicates the clutch isnt fully disengaging)

After driving the car around, the engagement ends up all the way at the top of the pedal. After this happens, I can hold the clutch in, and rev the car up and it no longer creeps forward.

So far I have had someone pump the clutch up while I manually bled it at both points. After getting as much air out as possible, I drove the car, still acted the same

I borrowed a mity-vac from a friend tonight and pumped from the top bleed point (i did not pump at the bottom point however) I switched to a generic brand fluid, so that I could verify I had completely emptied all of the ATE out and the car still acts the same.

Are there any other things that I might check out?

Thanks

Andy
