Be sure to bleed the system completely then see if it still does it ....

you shouldn't have any problems with it unless the slave cylinder is already worn out. if the hydraulic system is in good shape, it won't be an issue. I ran the same master/slave setup for 4 years on ACT clutches before the hose finally started leaking. I replaced the slave, rebuilt the master, and installed a SS clutch line all at the same time just to get it over with.

naw, you dont have to do that......below is copied from autozone repair manual...

Raise and safely support the vehicle.

Disconnect and cap the hydraulic line at the slave cylinder.

Remove the nuts attaching the slave cylinder to the transmission/transaxle.

Remove the slave cylinder.

To install:

Install the slave cylinder and tighten the attaching nuts to 22-30 ft. lbs. (30-40 Nm).

Connect the clutch hydraulic line to the slave cylinder. Tighten the fitting securely.

Bleed the clutch hydraulic system.

ok thanks, is there any break in period for the new clutch? and why does the pedal seem to have less travel than before?

Do you mean that you only have to push the clutch pedal in just a little for it to disengage?
