replaced clutch master cylinder. but pedal still goes to the floor.?

we bled the system and replaced a few lines but it seems that the master cylinder isnt sucking the fluid in. but for some reason its still spitting fluid out of the bleeder. very confused... whats the prob here?

Update:

its for the clutch you idiots not the brakes!

    You've got a couple decent answers, but I just have to say this- do you people know how to read the English language or are you completely clueless as the difference between a clutch & brakes???

    "...dude keep bleeding it. bleed all 4..." <---you have 4 clutches on your car? - WOW!

    "...one of your lines is not closed up good. You have to keep bleeding all four wheels. Pump, pump pump and then tighten them up..." <--- I never knew the clutch was connected to the wheels!

    "...bleed all four wheels <---- =See above!=

    or

    take break line from the break cylinder

    put break line in pop bottle over night

    all the air will come out..." <---The clutch bone is connected to the brake bone, come on sing along...you know the words!

    "...just go to a machanic and have them do a brake fluid flush, its only like 25 to 50 dollars, you probably arent bleeding the lines right, your supposed to go in a certain order when bleeding brake lines, just take it to a mechanic..." <--- Pay for a brake flush for your hydraulic clutch- that will fix all of your problems!

    Source(s): Pet Peeve- people who (A) do not read the entire question before they attempt to answer, (B) are illiterate, but must answer a question or (C) are completely clueless, but must add their 2 cents (in this case 2 points).

    You dont need to bleed all four wheels to bleed the clutch system lol. I agree, get three people. One to get under the vehicle to crack the bleeder, one to pump the clutch pedal, and one to top fluid off between pumps. Continue that until no air is present.

    Try bleeding the clutch. Sounds like there is air in the lines?

    bleed the master and then bleed at slave under car... takes two poeple one to pump and hold and one to release and tighten should have bleed master first but now theres air in system and you need to bleed slave cylinder

    one of your lines is not closed up good. You have to keep bleeding all four wheels. Pump, pump pump and then tighten them up.
