I replaced my Pushrod going into the master cylinder it worked great . I was driving a few days later and lost my clutch . I stomped on the clutch fast and slammed first to get it home.it has pressure But slowly goes to the floor there's nothing dripping anywhere. And also when the pedal goes to the floor it does not come back

Sounds like MC or Slave is done...

Replace both....then you know what's what with both being new and replaced at same time...

Do as Roit said, it's on or the other. Most likely the slave has went out on ya. LMC has the two already together with the connecting line and pre-bled check page 117, priced at $189.00. The pre- bled unit would save you time and headache, but I can certainly under stand being on a budget.

Thanks a **** ton fellas. Do you think it just needs to be bled after pulling the plunger to replace the Pushrod? Or no because it was working fine for a bit then went downhill?

IMHO, and I've a bit on these clutches, replacing clutch pushrod will not in anyway affect the performance of clutch as in the manner you describe. The pushrod is outside of the closed hydraulic system.

What you are describing is a symptom of eminent failure of system.

Swapping out pushrod will not cause what you describe which sounds more like MC or slave is bleeding past it's self, similar to a brake MC loosing it's ability to hold pressure.

You can attempt a full on bleed if you feel that it's worth while, there is no harm in it. I'd suggest following the steps outlined in my TECH 101 that I did up if you are doing a bleed.
