Why is my clutch doing this? I've been driving around in my T56 swap for about a week now. Not a lot of problems but one that is nagging me. I bled the clutch 3 times now. When I go to put it in first, its like it doesn't want to go. Slave cylinder was upgraded by person I bought trans from. He's supposed to be sending me the tick master which I hope fixes all this. But I'm kinda on the broke side and was hoping to be able to sell it when it gets here. But if I can't get this to work, I'll just have to install it. Cause this is driving me nuts. And the pedal sticks about halfway back up sometimes. Not even on hard shifts. Like after I've held it for a few minutes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The truest way to ensure NO air in the system is to Gravity Bleed the system and then hook it up and then from there do the bleeding proceedures.
Make sure you have help. Have the helper in the car, PUSH DOWN AND HOLD DOWN THE CLUTCH PEDAL, Then you crack the bleeder and it will squirt out fluid. Tighten and have them release.
ALSO DO NOT PUMP THE PEDAL.
I took a BRAND NEW Tick Perf Clutch master and in a matter of doing the above proceedure 3 times (then refill on resivoire) it was perfect and drove perfect ever since.
