Clutch Q's

I'm having clutch issues. The clutch is engaging almost on the floor. I had replaced the Master, and slave cylinders, even got a SS line to replace the old rubber one. Bled the system and adjusted the clutch accordingly... I have driven it about 50-80 miles, and it was engaging fine, where it is supposed to engage when releasing the pedal. Now its doing the same damn shit, engaging right on the floor, wtf. The only thing I haven't changed is the hard line from the master to the flex hose before the slave cylinder... I'm going to go ahead and bleed the system again tomorrow. Anyone have any ideas as to what else it might be?
 
damn, i hate clutch issues! iv had my fair share, r ur loosing clutch fluid? if so have a friend push u clutch in (over nd over) nd see if its leaking at any of the conections....
 
No leaks, fluid is at the same level, just bled the clutch and there wasn't a drop of air in it... I adjusted the pedal to how I want it to engage, (just over the 1/2 way point of pedal travel) and it is bottoming out the MC about 1/2CM before the pedal reaches the floor... I'm going to change that. I'd rather engage sooner, than bottom out the MC.
 
Clutch was replaced less than 2 years ago with ACT street clutch, Heavy Duty PP and both bearings. Does not have any more than 20k on the damn thing... Shit even the tranny has about the same mileage as the clutch, that shit was rebuilt too...
 
I think I found the problem... I took the slave out, and made sure fluid was flowing through the hard line after the MC. It checked out fine, then I proceeded to inspect the clutch fork and noticed that the rod from the Slave was almost going through the center of the Clutch fork hole... So, I kinda rigged a washer where the slave cylinder meets the fork and its working perfectly fine now. So that needs replacing... Thanks for the input guys...

I was fearing that when nothing changed after changing the hydraulics. If that were the case, I was gonna get ready to pull the motor, trans and sell it to finish the swap I haven't fully pieced together yet...
