I have an '89 4Runner, 5 speed. About a month ago the clutch pushed right to the floor with no pressure. I looked under hood and the clutch master cylinder reservoir was empty, so I filled it and got pressure, I then bled the slave cylinder on the side of the transfer case. About a month later, the problem reoccurred, same deal low clutch master cylinder and air in the slave cylinder. Once I do these things the car works fine again. I assume it will do it again in a month, any input would be great thanks.

Try replacing the slave cylinder.

Look up under the dash, is it wet up by the clutch pedal pushrod? If so, your master cylinder needs replaced or rebuilt. If not, then go under and check the slave cylinder and follow the clutch fluid lines. It is a common problem on Toys for the master to start leaking.
