Default Slave / Master Problem????

I just installed a Spec III, with a new Slave & McLeod Master.

I've blead everything, multiple times, did the bushmans Mightyvac thing and all. But my clutch is grabbing right off of the floor. It doesn't even disengage fully. I didn't bleed the slave before I installed the tranny, but fluid is just running out of the bleeder on the slave.

Since I went with a new Slave, It came with a throwout bearing installed, so I didn't run the Spec Throwout. Also I didn't shim anything due to the fact that I have the McLeod hydraulics.

Do y'all think I still have some air somewhere, or should I just adjust the Mcleod master & hope that's the problem?

I would adjust your m/c rod out some. Make small adjustments though as it doesn't take too much for it to make a big change. I always turned mine 1 full turn and checked the engagement point. Keep adjusting like that till you get where you want it to be. If the rod is too far in, it can very well cause the symptoms you said you are having right now. Good luck, these systems can be a PITA sometimes.
