Default clutch problems! 1996 accord lx 5 spd coupe

My clutch pedal has no springback to it...the shifter wont go into gear. I'm reading that i need to bleed the clutch hydraulic system...how exactly is that done? And if that isnt the solution, does the clutch master cylinder need replaced? What should my course of action be? Thanks guys!

course of action, well, start by checking the if you got fluid in the clutch reservoir.
with the car off, you should be able to shift into gears

if you cant, you might have a pressure plate problem or a slave cylinder and fork problem.

I'm able to shift with the car off...I think its the master cylinder...took a look at where it comes through the firewall and there was a wet spot where brake fluid came through...I'm replacing the master & slave today...i'll post results later on.

I just finished changing the master & slave cylinders...went pretty smooth...but I have no pressure...brake fluid isnt leaking from anywhere...any thoughts on what could be wrong? The pedal is either in the resting position or all the way to the floor, thanks to the spring system on the pedal assembly.
