I've been working on my swap for a while now but I keep running in to thIs issue. I just blew my 3rd one sick and tired of dealing with it. So what am I doing wrong? All 3 were new I even have a new t56 magnum so I'm suspecting maybe it's the way I bleed it and caused it to leak?
Thanks for the help!

I had a similar issue during a tick master cylinder install on a stock 99 transam...blew the slave right off the bat.
during replacement I found someone previously installed a .060 shim between the slave and transmission...removed it during install of new slave
Make sure you DO NOT have to much adjustment in the master pedal to send TO MUCH fluid to the slave cylinder...you want the clutch to be disengaged while your foot/pedal is to the floor, but as soon as you start to release/raise up on the pedal the clutch starts biting...play with it from this point and make sure high rpm shifts are smooth..
good luck and take your time...start with short pedal strokes, and never force it into gear

bumping this because I am on my 4th slave now. OP, you are the only person I have seen with a t56 magnum as well. I have a super magnum from tick (1200 hp rated) and a mcleod twin disc. I can't even get to the point of bleeding because as soon as i press the clutch it leaks from the slave. The slave doesn't even move at all. Now that I have put the clutch pedal to the lowest point, it still leaked as soon as i hooked the line in and I wasn't even done hooking up the driveshaft under the car.
