well i was driving home and my clutch started loosing pressure so i tought maybe my slave cyl. was going b/c there is no leaks and fluid was full. so now i replaced the slave and master cyl. and im not even getting pressure through the lines, like just air and 0 fluid... i bled it the right way and nothing. also my new slave cyl isnt pushing the fork in and out ( accualy the fork wont move at all i think. but it goes into gear fine when the car is off, so what gives?

You can adjust the play in the pedal from under the dash regardless if you have pressure in the system... if it's adjusted too far out it won't actuate the system. If I remember right it's a threaded nut you adjust... sounds like it has air in the system or a leak... I had this same issue last year. I had a bad master cylinder. I also had a leak directly under the master cylinder from overtightening the nut over the flange. Maybe you got a defective master cylinder or something or maybe there's still more air. When you bleed it did you have someone helping you or did you use a 1 man bleeder kit?

are you sure it's not leaking around the rubber clutch line?

my 1st thought was bleed it again... seeing as you replaced everything you'd need to have run atleast 300ml of fluid through the clutch to get all the air out...

Air can be compressed like 700x it's normal size before it gives any....

--As you said you have no leaks...bleed er till she's hard...
