clutch problems - plzzz help!!

yo need some help!

k so the other day, im drivin, and at a red light, i push the clutch pedal down and try to put it in gear, but it doesnt come back up!

i finally got it movin, pulled into a parking spot and left it. couldnt get it workin again. while bleeding the clutch fluid, i noticed a leak in the flex hose leading into the slave cylinder and replaced the hose.

then, we re-bled it (the slave cylinder)... (but i think the mechanic i was wid did it wrong)

but the clutch is still soft and is VERY hard to get into gear sometimes.

basically when we bled it (the second time, wid the mechanic), he just kept tellin me to pump it alot and then after a while hold it down so he could bleed it. when i did it, i didnt pump in between....

anyways, so it was till really soft and hard to get in gear, so when i got home i rebled the slave cylinder again. but its still just as soft n junk...

what should i do!?!? btw, i didnt touch the master cylinder....yet......

it is not leaking anywhere that i can tell, fluid is at a consistent level.

any help is greatly appreciated yo


ohhh ya btw, i forgot to mention--the second time we bled it, we didnt bleed it all the way. we only did a few tries wid it (like pushin the pedal 5-6 times)......

remember, there are TWO bleed spots for the clutch: the first is down on the slave cylinder, and the second is on the clutch line up near the top of the strut tower. You need to bleed from BOTH of these lines, IIRC.
