HELP!!! No Pressure in Clutch

I just replaced the slave and the lower clutch hose on my 01 Max. Now I cant get any pressure in my clutch. I sat there and pumped the clutch for about an hour and still no pressure. Before all this, it would occasionally get to the point where I had to pump the clutch because the reservoir was empty and there was no pressure in the line due to a hole in the lower hose, so after about 45mins-1hr I would get pressure. I even went as far as repeatedly pressing the piston on the slave to see if it would get an pressure and it seemed like it did but still no pressure in the clutch. Anyone got any ideas?

Did you bleed the clutch?

Yeah I finally got pressure in the clutch after reverse bleeding it but it still feels soft and there are times I have to force it into gear.

Probably have a problem in the master or you still have air in the system.

You got an aftermarket clutch?

You may want to replace your master.
