ok I ve got a problem my clutch pedal just fell to the floor and I replaced the master cylinder and the slave cylinder and I'm trying to bleed the clutch and the pedal is not getting any pressure behind it and I ve checked little rubber line that leads to the slave cylinder and the metal line leading from the master cylinder and they don't seem to have any leaks or taking in any air that I see so if u could help me out I would really appreciate it thanks in advance.

What about the clutch fork in the gear box?
It sometimes bend or fall off if the pin under it snap.

try to open the bleeder alittle enough for fluid to leak out..pump it 4 to 5 times and close it up and keep pumpin it..it start to get stiff after a few more pump and adjust how u like the pressure to be at.. note always fill more fluid while u are pumping..

Hi!!!!!
The burnt smell could be caused by not depressing the clutch all the way. Some drivers will only depress the clutch enough for it to start to slip (like the brake is used) and do not depress it all the way to the floor to shift gears or even worse when stopped.

Since you already replaced your master cylinder, I am assuming nothing is wrong with it. Just to make sure, you can still give it a peek and see if there is any brake fluid leaking out externally of the master cylinder. The master cylinder usually has a reservoir that holds the brake fluid. The reservoir is attached to the metal part of the master cylinder by rubber grommets. The function of these grommets allow movement from brake pedal and fluid pressures, which can possibly cause leak. You may want to check this out.
