check the master again. i know its a shot in the dark but i was in the same boat as you with my fd and what happened was when i installed the new master the inner pin was pushed back and got stuck in a pressed position because when i was installing it i was some how pushing it into the clutch pedal line incorrectly lol.

where is it the clutch engaging in the pedal?

I have never done it but I believe there is a way to adjust this.

as soon as i let the pedal up it engages but slips. i can also put the car in first or in any gear for that matter and let the clutch out with out giving it gas and it wont stall just eaise forward.

johnnyt ur clutch sounds shot. if the slave and master are working and its engaging properly. it sounds like the only thing left is your clutch. Imarie have you tried pumping it?

so it would only slip on the lower gears? or all gears? and if you did happen to put it in backwards it would kinda slip but grab more

is the thicker part of the pin suppose to be the part that matches up with the line? i replaced my slave cylinder and tried bleeding the line but still no action from the pedal.
