so i was driving home when i start coming towards a stop sign i put teh car in nuetral and coast to a stop....i push the clutch in and go to put it in gear but it wont go in. I shut the car off and put it in first (goes in all gears fine...with car off) i push teh clutch in adn try to start it but the car jerks like i have the clutch out. i end up starting the car in first and drive it home in first. This mornign i wake up and start checking some stuff out. the clutch amster cylinder wasnt empty but wasnt full. so i check leaking on the inside on the firewall where the master cylinder is. I see some leaking so i buy a new master cylinder and about half way threw this i figure i should check my slave. so i check that to find its leakin slighty to. i buy on of those and finish installing both. after bleeding the car i push the clutch in only to find it still wont go into gear. sooooo basically my question is could there be something i messed up while changin everything over or is the clutch GONE....
 
Are you sure you bleed the clutch all the way? did you pull it all the way up every time? If so check the line for leakage. Also have a friend push the clutch and see if its moving at the slave cyl. Make them hold it and see if it starts going back in with the pedal down. Is the clutch Stock? If not it could also be a bent TOB fork but i doubt that. Don't go buying a new clutch yet I think you will find that its not the clutch its self.
 
Adjust the pedal engagement as well by turning the rod on the master cylinder from inside the car.
