Clutch pedal slams to the floor when pressing it...

Rob,
Borrow or buy a Motive pressure bleeder, it will make the bleeding process much easier and quick, I bought one of these many years ago (+/- $50) and it gets used constantly (all hydraulics)

I have one (but it is missing the seal that presses up against the brake fluid resv), so I am using a friends. But I also took a look at the one offered by Bavarian Autoworks and it is very nice. I plan to add that to the tool list and get one at some point. I love the Motive bleeder, but this one looks better.

Bleeding is definitely the answer.

However I did have a 944 where the clutch hydraulic lines were all steel except for a 5 inch section of braided stainless over rubber tubing to go around a corner. I replaced both cylinders and everything would work perfect for the first few shifts after I bled the lines. Then I'd lose the clutch pedal and have to refill and rebleed the lines to get it working again.

It turned out that the rubber had degraded so much that it was oozing fluid when I pressed the clutch then sucking in air when I released it. It took me most of a day to find it, but then it was a $2 fix. Just something to check if bleeding the system doesn't seem to be working very well.

Yep....needed to be bleeded again. I am very surprised how sweet and easy the clutch engagement is. The old hard pedal actuation was a sure sign that the old clutch / flywheel was starting to go.
