Well everyone thanks for all replies. IT WORKS NOW.

Finally. 
I bleed the clutch circuit but it always air inside SO i did backward bleeding. I used a bottle from my girlfriend to tint hair ;-). I plugged a vaccum hose to the slave cyl. bleed valve and push the bottle to fill the cyl. until air come out to the oil tank THEN after 2 min only the pedaly travel full lenght. But it seems the master cyl did not operate as i expected.

So i replaced master cylinder with a new one was on the donor car. AND it works great now.


I did a little run on ice and snow in the street around here. Wow there is QUATTRO . I m infected now ;-)

Last thing to fix:

The engine temp goes at 120 in 2 min, and 0 C outside temp. With my 90 it takes a 15mion run to make it at 90C.

Why ? prestone is full.... maybe thermostat is glue there.
