Default clutch letting itself out.....slave prob? leak? help!!!!

i recently installed a ls7 clutch ls2 flywheel and a new slave. i am now starting to have problems with my clutch slowly engaging while pedal is pushed in at stops, it takes a little while and comes on slow but it is def engaging (sp?). after i get it out of gear and pump it one time its soft like it needs to be bled but i will go back to normal after one more push. ideas? help me fix this. and i have plenty of fluid.

If your not loosing fluid the master is likely the culprit. The fluid is weeping past the seals & the clutch engages.

Side note is is also much easier on the clutch system hydraulics to use them as least as possible.
Meaning not riding the clutch or holding the pedal @ lights.
It will stress the system much less, & will be less troublesome.

No need for more ideas, if you aren't leaking externally it should be the master

check make sure the bleed valve is tight on the slave too. I might be weeping enough to relieve the presure.

I would get a stocker made adjustable like a ram master or the like. The McLeod can have it's problems. I run one but it is nesaccary for my set up. The stock masters IMO are more reliable.
