I have a 1997 Kia Sportage and I need to know what kind of problem will it cause if you don't bleed your slave cylinder.

I just replaced my master Cylinder because it was leaking and now I can't shift my truck at all.

You will have a low clutch pedal or no pedal at all.

    That is what I thought and I should be able to bleed the slave, then my brakes right?

    You do realize that the clutch master cylinder and the brake master cylinder are two separate parts correct? It has nothing to do with the brakes, the brake system has a much larger master cylinder of its own. So if you replaced the master cylinder for the brakes thinking that also operated the clutch you replaced the wrong part.

I have a 2001 kia optima with manual transmission. Clutch master cylinder loosing fluid. Petal won't engage clutch arm into slave cylinder. Slow to change gears.
I'd probably start by replacing the clutch master cylinder and bleeding the line to the slave cylinder.

Problems shifting, clutch feels fine.
Most likely the master cylinder. Both usually need replaced together. If one fails the other will most likely soon after. Then bleed system again.

1998 kia sportage
If you don't have any brake lines leaking, change the master cylinder, bench bleed the new one then bleed the blakes, starting with the right rear, left rear, right front, then left front. If the booster was gone, you would hear air leaking out of it when you pressed the pedal down.
