Well did this start after you changed something?
Did the problem start after a clutch install?
Would have to say that the problem is either the trans/bell alignment, or the pressure plate's installed height.

What kind of slave are you buying? GM? What model number? There are a couple of different models.

Just a guess, could an over-travel situation. Try gently pressing the pedal, if it gets hard before it hits the floor, you're over-pressuring the slave. Try pedal stop...
