Default Soft clutch pedal

So I changed my clutch master cylinder and bleed the system using gravity bleed method and the top 3 inches of the clutch pedal feel very light and after that towards the bottom of the throw it gets heavier and feels more normal

How do I make the clutch pedal feel firmer everywhere in the throw not just the bottom I drove the car also and no clutch slip

Air in the system, guaranteed.

Or should I push the clutch in open the banjo bolt then close the bolt and release the clutch ?

Have you tried unbolting the slave and pointing the bleeder straight up in the air when you gravity bleed?

If you pump the crap out of the pedal you should at least get some pedal tension if you don't it's because you have a leak somewhere. Check all fittings and the slave banjo bolt.

exactly what I said, unbolt the two bolts that hold the slave on, and then with the bleeder pointing perpendicular to the ground crack it open. Just like the air in a bottle of soda goes to the top, the same with the clutch bleeder. When it's installed in the car it's roughly at a 45 degree angle, if you point it straight up, it'll uncover any pocket of air that's in there. Make sure you banjo bolt is tight and not leaking after you're done.

That's normal you're supposed to have a 1/4" of play. 2.54cm per inch/4 ~.7cm
