Kevin,
I agree with Vance but will add my own experience. When I replaced my
slave cylinder and rebuilt my master, I had similar symptoms as you.
Bleeding would work for a little while right after bleeding but the
system would soon return to being problematic. I ended up taking the
slave cylinder off the car while still hooked up to the master and
allowed the plastic tube running between the master and the slave to be
completely vertical. When I did, quite a few bubbles traveled up the
tube. Since then, I havent had any more problems. YMMV and make sure
you tie off the push rod before you remove the slave.

Subject: Clutch ?
New clutch, plate, T/O, fork pins, master & slave. Shifting trouble
into first, but only sometimes. Seems to happen when I'm driving in
traffic at red lights. Clutch gets all soft, won't disengage properly.
If I let off, then push back down, I can feel hydraulic pressure
building back up. Sometimes one pump will do it, two always will.
HELP! Does this sound like I need to re-bleed it? Defective master?
Defective slave? I'm almost certain it is a hydraulic problem, becasue
all the inside stuff is new.
Suggestions?
Kevin
