Its been a while since I got to work on the car but after having knee surgery (Severed ACL and reconstruction surgery) and shedding my brace for the most part now I can start tinkering on the car again.
Have a wiring harness on its way made by Erik on PFF I hope to get further now towards getting it in and running.

I show up from time to time. I helped a buddy bleed his clutch but the back end was up in the air and I pressed the clutch while he let the air out somewhere along the way by the trans as we made a new clutch line.

I gotcha. Yes, if you're gravity bleeding, you would raise the front end. I have never used this method but good luck with your issue, hope you get it solved and get her back on the road.

raise the back end ? thats the first time anyone has ever told me that and i been on hundreds of forums.. the best way to bleed the clutch is raise the front master higher then the slave (2 1/2 feet) and allow a pint of fluid to GRAVITY BLEED thru it then close slave bleed always topping up ur master... then using needle nose vise grips lock the push rod on the slave and at same time push slave push rod into slave as cracking the bleeder b/c of air on front side of slave thats trapped.normal bleeding like any other car will not get that air pocket out.  but no matter how much i do this it will always fade away. can others plz post i would like more input.
like i said b4 in the first post everything is brand new..

Oh yeah - check inside the boot on the slave actuator for fluid. I know you said no leaks but you want to make sure that air isn't getting in there, either. A leak that you can't even detect will cause you a lot of grief with these systems.

I never had to raise mine to bleed the clutch.. Maybe you're thinking about burping the coolant? If anything, you should be raising the back end up for the clutch since that's where the bleed screw is and where you'll want the air to go.
Have someone inside the car ready to push in the clutch.
Open the bleeder screw on the slave, have the person put the clutch to the floor but don't let it off the floor until you tell them! Close the bleed screw, let them lift off the clutch. Keep checking the res. on the master cyl, you only get a couple of pumps before you empty it and start sucking air in.
Vacuum pump might work OK but you really run the risk of emptying the reservoir and having to start over.
Just my two cents.

So do you figure it is a air pocket? and when i start using clutch it begins to break down into smaller air bubbles? and is there any better way to bleed these clutches without lifting the front end up 4 feet .lol would a vavuum pump work better? let me know plz thx for reply btw

Bleed it again. And when you think you have it good, bleed it a few more times. I fought with mine the same way.
Just make sure you never let the res. get too low or you will have to bleed it five more times.
