No clutch OR brake pressure???????HELP!!!!
Im not getting any clutch or brake pressure! WTF!
Ive bled the brakes and still have to pump them 4 or 5 times to brake safely, and I have to pump my clutch every once in a while(especially during in-town driving) to keep from grinding gears.
Ive got a good pressure plate, Im just not getting pressure in the pedal.
Im not loosinng fluid in either resevoir.
Are these problems connected?
Wouldnt I loose fluid if I needed a new booster?
How would I adjust the clutch pressure?

These problems in no way are connected.
For your clutch, is your fluid clean and clear? If not, you may have a failing master or slave cylinder.
For your brakes, is your fluid clean and clear? Did you bleed the master cylinder and each wheel? Have you checked your pads/rotors/drums/shoes?
You should not lose fluid if your booster is bad (I think).
And I don't know of a way to adjust the clutch pressure...

There is no way to adjust the clutch pressure but you may want to check the free play on the pedal. If is is set wrong it may not be letting the pedal come all the way back and in turn not letting it get a full push on the master cylinder.

Your problem is probably the same but the two systems are not interconnected!. Best bet is; to start with a quart of new hydraulic fluid. Cost about $2.50 around here. Do the clutch first. Find a pc of flexible tubing or vac/fuel hose to fit over the bleeder screw. Put end in a bottle of any kind that has enough brake fluid in it to cover hose end. Pump the pedal many times ( or have some one do it for you) stop when resevoir is about empty. By now all air and old possibly contaminated fluid is in the jar. Did you see any bubbles while fluid is going into jar? Now for added insurance crack open bleeder only a little and have someone slowly push clutch pedal down. AS soon as pedal hits floor close valve while pedal goes up. Do this 6 times. You will have perfect system now....or there is a failed cylinder and u mustt replace that....Brakes re exactly same procedure except put your hose/tube over the wheel cylinders. Start at right rear, then do left rear, then rightfront, left front last and GOOD LUCK !
