Just replaced the clutch slave and master cylinder, but now the clutch pedal will not return from the floor without me pulling it up manually. What am I missing? I have bleed the lines. What else can this be?

Welcome to 2CarPros.

First, here are the directions specific to your vehicle for bleeding the slave. Go through them and let me know if this is how you did it. The two attached pictures correlate with the directions.

1. Check the level of clutch fluid in the reservoir and replenish if necessary.
2. Bleeding the slave cylinder.
1. Remove the rubber cap from the bleeder screw and wipe clean the bleeder screw. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder screw and insert the other end of the vinyl tube into a transparent container.

2. Pump the clutch pedal repeatedly and hold it depressed.
3. Loosen the bleeder screw to release clutch fluid with air bubbles into the container, then tighten the bleeder screw immediately.
4. Release the clutch pedal carefully. Repeat the above operation until air bubbles disappear from the clutch fluid being pumped out into the container. During the bleeding operation, keep the clutch fluid reservoir filled to the specified level. Reinstall the rubber cap.
