Clutch slips but will grab after bleeding in.
Hi all,
I've just picked up a GSL-SE, it's has a RacingBeat street/strip with the RB aluminum flywheel. The clutch slips when I test drove it but he said the clutch hasn't been abused and only been to 2 track days, so we tried bleeding it to see if there's help. It helped, not much, it'd slip under WOT but if I gently accelerate then it'd be ok. We bled it again, there's improvement and felt it grab a little more. I was thinknig that if I keep bleeding it... would it make a difference? I put it in 5th and dropped it to see if it'd stall, it did stall so there's definitely some grab on the clutch. Do you suggest in keep on the bleeding process to see if there's any improvement?
Any positive comments would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
ADD: We've also checked if there's any leaks and stuff for the hard lines... nothing found.

I will see if the clutch will work after if I drive it slowly or bleed it a little more.
