Well mine started to slip while it was in gear on the highway. Another cue would be that it would be increasingly difficult to get it in reverse/1st with the clutch all the way to the floor.

by rockhard you mean your pedal pressure? Thats all in the hydraulics my friend might want to try bleeding it with a mity vac and hope you dont have any leaks. I had a leak in my slave so at least it was self bleeding just had to keep the resevoir full.
