Default Clutch closer to fixed

Got my clutch slave cylinder and master cylinder in. Now I just have to re-blead the lines. I did do it right the first time and then I seconded guessed myself and I thought I had the line to the slave cylinder on backwords so I undid it and turned it around...of course with fliud going everywhere. So after I put it the right way again I decided to hook it up and see how bad it was and maybe I could live with it. Its not as bad as I thought as I can get into the gears without grinding too much and sometimes not at all BUT I still need to bleed it again and I hope after that it will be fixed. I have to wait until my hooker comp headers cool down before I go near the slave again. Oh and BTW its allways good to keep a few C clips handy, never know when you might need one. Yeah, I tried to get the clip on the new master and POP, it did a disappearing act....I still have to get to the parts store to pick up some. But if nothing else, I am almost done and the hard stuff is pretty much behind me. I will have to post some picks of the old master as it was pretty F'ed up. It was definately my problem. Thanks to all the folks who helped me out for this!

100% Fixed! Just had to bleed it some more. Let me tell you, the easy way to do it is grabbing a C-Clamp and knocking off the end and using the ball end insert it into the slave cylinder then tighten down making sure it stays straight then once the slave bottoms out, bleed away. Then when your done just let it loose alittle at a time and add fluid as needed. Worked great for me. The clutch feels like new! Thanks everyone for the help!
