Clutch bleed gone bad

I am having issues with my clutch disengaging. I have a McLeod clutch, an LS7 slave and a stock master cylinder. I have measured the throwout clearance and it is between an 1/8 - >1/4 of an inch. I have installed a remote bleeder on the slave. I have pumped a ton of fluid through the system. The clutch is not fully disengaging, clashing gears, will not go into 1/Rev. with the motor running. Shifts fine without the motor running. There is a slight squeak in the clutch peddle, rubber inside the cylinder. I suspect the master cylinder is bad but I need some advice?
BTW - I am new to the forum, well really to all forums. Should I post a new thread to get help?

McLeod is a brand, so you may want to specify what type of clutch you have from them. The LS7 clutch is intended for a single disk clutch. If you have a twin disk, that could be your issue, and bleeding or spacers would not take care of it either. You may also want to check with McLeod to see what they say.

When I loosened it, it was quite wobbly and not a drop of fluid came out anywhere and the motive still had full pressure. I didn't loosen it any further for fear of it coming out.
I don't have any issues with shifting or anything, so it's not a huge deal, just wanted to put fresh fluid it.
I'll likely be installing an LS7 clutch assembly in the next few months, so I'll probably just wait and handle it then. Hopefully I can do the clutch master upgrade at the same time.
