Thanks guys. I think I know the problem. Shortly after I had the clutch professionally installed, I re-routed the hydraulic line and put in the DOT 5 fluid. I was pumping the pedal, holding it down and opening the purge fitting. Now that I'm bleeding it right and replacing the original DOT 3, I'm noticing that it is all but impossible to get the air bubbles out of the system. I'm considering pumping the fluid into the system though the bleeder fitting on the slave. We've been trying to pump the air out with the clutch pedal for the past two hours and I'm still getting air bubbles in the drain bottle tube. I feel confident that this is my problem.
