Default Help! Getting air in clutch!

Hey guys i had my friend replace my clutch with a zoom performance clutch. He works at a cadillac dealship and i trust him. Well he did that then he also replaced my reservoir and my slave cylinder. Everything is brand new and nothing is leaking? ANY IDEAS! This had been going on for awhile! We have switched the slave cylinder and reservoir before just out of ideas of what it can be!

thanks
kevin

Connect tubing to the bleeder on the clutch cylinder and put the tubing into a can of brake fluid and then pull a vacuum at the clutch master cylinder. This moves air entrapped in the system to the highest point of the system.
