searched but no help clutch pedal falling to floor

yesterday my mechanic replaced my clutch slave cylinder because it was leaking . he clamped the line going to the cylinder , we bled both valves clutch feels a lot better but while I drive it , it still falls to the floor every 2 or 3 times . I know this isn't right . also as if I'm just resting my foot on the clutch I guess the spring kicks in and pushes it to the floor . I really need your help guys I have to drive it and pull te medal back up after about every 4 times I clutch in it's annoying and we bled out all the air and no lines are leaking I doubled checked just now and it seems fine . my mechanic said drive it it's going to build up it's own pressure .

2000 nissan maxima 5 speed

please help thank you

Pedal to the floor means air in the line or you're leaking fluid from the slave, line, or master.

Worst case it's your clutch.

Easy fix other than bleeding would be to make sure your pedal is adjusted properly as well.

Like Fakie said, it's most likely air in or getting in. Either from a bad slave or master.

You would know if you were leaking fluid easily by a low fluid level.

Had the same issue on my 96. It turned out to be the master cylinder.
You might want to change that if everything else fails,
