Default New clutch and hydraulics and clutch stuck

Hey y'all I just had a brand new ls7 clutch master and slave installed last week . Well I am now at about 500 miles and today I went to rev so I pushed the clutch in a did so. As soon as I did the clutch pedal got sticky for a few minutes and now seems to engage a bit higher but it still drives fine. Any ideas

Possibly air in line....bleeding is biggest issue I have come across.

Definitely give it a full traditional-style bleed, going through a good half to full bottle of brake fluid. Use Dot4 fluid. Try putting a Mity Vac on it if you get the chance. If this doesn't help, you might be looking at a slave/master issue. Did you replace any of the hydraulics when you put the new clutch in? How many miles on everything?

Hey y'all I believe it is a bleeding issue also since the clutch master and slave only hve 500 miles on them. I also think I have air in the lines also because while sitting still I can't get my car into 2nd, 3rd or 5th. I have used a mityvac and it got better a little but I guess I will try it again for longer .
