Clutch woes...Need some help Ok, my clutch works normal until I get on it, then it stays at the floor. I have bleed it a couple times. It has a new slave. Does this sound like the master might be going out? The pedal pressure returns after 20-30 seconds.

I just found this writeup on how to make the stock master into an adjustable master. I think Im going to give it a try. https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-transmission/317767-stock-adjustable-master-cylinder-writeup.html Has anybody else done this?

I've finally fixed this and it was by doing the following:
1) 01 slave (bled clutch) - didn't fix it
2) Ram Adjustable Master Cylinder (set to stock length) and drill mod - didn't fix it
3) Bench bled - didn't fix it
4) Bled whole thing again - didn't fix it
5) Adjusted Master Cylinder to be a little less than a 1/4 inch closer than stock to the engine (shorter). - made it worse
6) Adjusted Master Cylinder to be about 1/8 inch closer than stock to the rear of the car (longer). FIXED IT FINALLY
*the key for me was the Adjustable Master Cylinder and making it a little bit longer than stock. Note I still have my stock clutch.
Basically, just get or make an adjustable master cylinder and make it about 1/8 inch closer to the driver (Longer than the stock length)
