so you replaced the clutch without replacing the slave too??... that's a big no no, I would replace the slave regardless if it seemed good just for the amount of work involved and you're already there if doing the clutch, not to mention it is only about $120... add a remote bleeder if you don't already have one, that will make clutch fluid changes a breeze

it screws in place of the factory bleeder on the slave and has a stainless line that runs into the engine bay near the brake fluid reservoir... so in order to bleed it you just crack the fitting open in the engine bay and bleed away... some use a speed bleeder so you can do it yourself without any help... mine is set up this way and I can completely flush out my clutch fluid in about 5 mins
