Clutch going spongy after starting. I just installed a monster stage 2 with a new GM slave in my 01 SS. I reused the stock master cylinder. I bled what I feel is all of the air out of the system. I gravity bled the master, forced fluid through with a syringe, and used a mityvac to pull some bubbles out. It was hard to get it in gear with the car off, and impossible with it running but after doing the aforementioned things it became easy with the car off. I started it and was able to go in all the gears easily, but then, with the pedal depressed, the gears became locked out again and now the upper half of pedal travel is spongy again. I have a remote bleeder btw. I checked under the car while I had someone pump the pedal and couldn't see any leaks, the vent in the bellhousing is dry. Do I need to continue bleeding or do I need a new master?

Bled a little more and same thing. I can get it into a couple gears while on, then i get locked out of gear and soft, spongy pedal returns. With the car off the pedal goes back to being stiff.

Bled, bled, and bled some more. Got quite a bit of bubbles out with the mityvac, pedal real nice while the car's off. Start it up, can get into a couple gears just fine, pedal goes spongy, no more gears 
. Ordered a Tick adjustable master, hopefully that fixes it so I can drive this bitch.
