Default Please help. Clutch won't disengage.

I don't mean to beat this subject to death but I haven't been able to drive my car for 2 months. I did a search already like 5 times before posting.

Got a 99 SS m6. Pedal was stuck on floor. Replaced the master and slave with new parts from GM. Worked ok for 500 miles. Now it wont disengage when all the way to the floor.
I gravity bled it and then used the "pump the clutch 50 times and then open the bleeder screw method".
It builds good pressure and works well....until I start the car...then I press the pedal all the way down and the clutch wont fully disengage. Very frustrating.

Why do I lose pressure in the clutch when I start the car?

Any info is appreciated....Thanks.

I was thinking this may be the slave going bad. Unless anyone has encountered this problem I guess I'll start by swapping out the master and then if that does not work I'll change the slave....again.
What a terrible design. I have met so many people with These cars and they are great except for the hydraulic clutch....and the rearend......
I am seriously thinking about a 700r4 with a manual valve body swap.
