Default clutch seems to slip after bleeding it

Ok heres the deal, I put in a new clutch in june (ram powergrip hd). It worked fine but the pedal was sticking to the floor alot, so i bled it. It worked great after that but the pedal would still stick to the floor every now and then, little enough to deal with. I was off from work and got bored so I went to bleed it again and after i bled it that time it started slipping in each gear when I would first hit the gas but would grab as long as I stayed in gear. When I push in the clutch pedal and change the gear it would slip at first, then grab but only right after I changed gears, as long as I stayed in the gear it would grab after that. It deffinitely felt like it was slipping but it didnt have the burnt clutch smell at all so i thought it might be the slave so i pulled the trans and replaced the slave/t.o. and its still doing it. What i dont get is that it was fine until I bled it the second time. Now it is driving me insane! If anyone can help me out with some advice it would be great. Thanks

The same thing happened to me. I think I got brake fluid on the clutch during bleeding. After a few days of driving the slipping went away. It does not slip at all anymore.
