Clutch pedal won't come back up after pressing

yep, I concure.

It sometimes takes a bunch to bleed the system... I run Tick Performance bleed hose kits on all of the hydraulic builds now.

Thanks guys, that is what I told the shop manager that there was still air in the system because I had only replcaced the master cylinder. You guys know that there are some shope managers or mechanics who think they know everthing and the customer does not know crap

I have the Keisler set up in my El Camino, and it was nothing but a major P.I.T.A to bleed out. the bleeder on the line to the bearing was pointing down. pressure bleeding, gravity, nothing worked....
I ended up bolting up the slave and master while the trans was out and bleeding it to get the air out and now it is fine.
Also double check that the rod and pin at the pedal going through the fire wall have clearance. FYI.

Well I did not order the complete kit from Keisler as the clutch and the throwout bearing along with the bleeding and feed lines were newly installed. All I ordered was their wilwood master cylinder with billet adapter for the firewall and the oil container or bottle. It seems like bleeding process is a hassle and requires lots of patience.
