so i bled the clutch like 6 different ways today with a freind and were both pretty mechanically inclined.. soo i still can't shift gears unless i pump it ALOT! i noticed that when i pump it the rubber line under the car going to the slave is kinda expanding and moving is this my probelm? i have a ACT heavy duty pressure plate and i bought a new clutch master( behind the clutch pedal) and a slave in the last week trying to fix this problem.. any answer????

There shouldn't be any movement in the clutch fluid line - certainly not any noticeable expansion! So I'd change this as well. As long as you are confident that your bleeding techniques are OK (always keeping the reservoir filled, not letting the clutch pedal up until the bleed nipple is closed after each stroke) then you should have ensured that all air was removed. The only other possible problem is if you didn't bench prime the master cylinder properly before installing it, you may have an air lock that bleeding can't remove. Try releasing the line (don't remove it totally) at the master cylinder - if you can get access to it - and pump the pedal gently but full stroke a couple of times. Same deal - release the union, clutch down, tighten union, clutch up - be careful to catch the escaping fluid, it's hell on paint!
