Never the less ive always replaced both units at the same time. So, if its true, you may want to rebuild your master now that you have a new slave. In my camaro I just installed my new tick master with a new slave and new lines...but the car is still on blocks till i get the tranny back in. Ill let you know if I have any problems. I hope not to as now ever last part of the clutch hydraulic system will be new, including a new ls7 clutch assy.
Good luck and please post back if you make any progress!

Heat is a killer on hydraulic clutches.

Iagree,
plus the issue your now describing sounds like a problem with the tranny, not the hydraulics. Im just learning the working of the transmission now so cant be much help on that.
