89 F150 I6-No pressure in clutch- bad slave cylinder?

I have an 89F150 w/ 5speed manual transmission. It's the mazda transmission. Air had entered my hydraulic system and I bled the slave cylinder. I think I did it wrong because now there is no pressure in my clutch. The clutch stays engaged thus making it undrivable.

I attempted to rebleed the slave cylinder and this time no fluid comes out but my resevoir is full of fluid. I have full play in the clutch where it just hits the floor and will not come back up, similar to what would happen if your brake fluid ran out.

Any ideas?

Try bleeding both the clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder.

Ok, soon as the weather passes.. we have some pretty severe weather over here in St. Louis.. I didnt run across anything in the Haynes manual on how to bleed the master cylinder but i'll be reading over it..

Thanks, if anybody else has any ideas please let me know.
