Hi, I'm sorry if this has already been asked.

My clutch bite point is just off the floor.
I tried bleeding the system (2 man method), however every time the pedal was pushed to the floor it would stick and have to be pulled up and then pumped (5-6 pumps)repeatedly until it went 'hard', otherwise it would just drop back to the floor, this happened for every iteration.

I have completely changed the fluid and the bite point is still in the same place, there is no visible leaks anywhere.

Could this be a master/slave cylinder problem.

Thanks in advance

Probably you need a new clutch kit.

If slave clynder is extracting on the fork and hold pressure it is good.

I30's do tend to have a fairly low clutch bite point. Only discussed on here recently!

I had a new clutch fitted at the beginning of the year by my local Hyundai dealer and the bite point is low to the floor so it would seems like its the norm for it to be quite low.

I had a hard clutch pedal and slipping.

Clutch bite point was normal at half of pedal.

After changing clutch kit bite point is at half as before, pedal is lighter and no slipping.

Only thing that after long driving clutch feels quite hard, not hard as with old clutch but not like when car is started.
