Someone please HELP!
It all started about 2 weeks ago. I tried to start my car one morning and it wouldn't start. As soon as it fired up, it would immediately die off. It eventually started and that was the first and last time it ever did that, so I didn't really think much of it. A few days later, I'm sitting at a stop light with the peddle pressed down and in 1st gear, waiting for the green light. As soon as I tried taking off, the car stalls out on me. I try again and almost does the same. The clutch started acting up on me. Sometimes it's hard to put into 1st and reverse. I bled the clutch and tried it again, I pressed the peddle all the way down and put it in first and held it for a couple of seconds, and the car started to move all on its own. This was without me giving it any throttle of course. What could be causing this problem?

That's what I was thinking, but how could that be? I put in a new RAM adjustable MC and a new slave cylinder after frying my previous clutch within a couple thousand miles. I have a built tranny with low miles and a Spec Super Twin clutch, with just a couple of months since install. The slave was replaced along with the new clutch, even though the previous one had very little use. The master was replaced a little before the new clutch. All parts are basically new, with most of them being replaced more than once to try and correct a problem. I have spent a lot of money on my drivetrain already and I don't know what else to do.

I did when I first installed the new clutch. It's about even with the brake pedal. I have not messed with it ever since this problem arose. What would be the proper way to adjust it?

Sounds to me like the slave cylinder took a crap on you. I had the same problem with my car. There was still a pedal but i would have to double clutch it everywhere to avoid grinding gears. I would start with the slave, its usually the weak link in the hydraulics.
