I recently went through almost everything you are describing. Replaced the slave, still had the problem. When I replaced the master the problem went away. What apparenly happended when the system was working at the mimimum i.e. you push in the clutch you could shift but barely, and reverse you have to go though 1st first to get in reverse. What happened to mine was I blew the seals in the master from the pressure of the pedal, as little as it was it lessened the pressure.The leak was all internal with no leaks visable to the exterior. Once I replaced the master and re-bled it worked better than ever. It was bleeding back into the system.
Prior advice is true, make sure the piston on the slave is pushed in all the way. If your not using a push type bleeder you are creating more work for yourself than necessary. My master was $65.00, it worked and now I have a rebuilt spare. ERA uses BMW slave and master cylinders.
