Default sinking clutch pedal

my clutch pedal started getting soft and low last week, i checked the resi. and it was low so i filled it up and bled it just incase it got air in. it drove good for the next two days then it started getting soft and having alot of play in it. so i did a full bleed on the whole system and replaced all the fluid. it felt great yesterday, but today it engages after pushing the pedal down like three or four inches of travel. i put an ls7 clutch in last year with a tick master, a new slave and remote bleeder. any ideas on where to start?

inspect for leaks check fluid level again, did you have to shim master or slave that could be part of the problem also if your clutch pedal free play is more than 1-2 inches you may have an adjustment problem

i didn't shim the master or slave. and i don't think it's an adjustment problem because it just recently started and i readjusted it after the last bleed. i can't get under it to check for leaks because i recently lowered it and don' have any wood to drive up on to get a jack under it yet.

leaks would be my guess how many miles you could have a slave going out try rebleeding it also should take you know time with remote bleeder i would inspect for leaks first and check level in resovoir
