Clutch Slave

The only thing I can think of other than wear (it lost the seals on the interior moving "plunger") is what if over time I added fluid but they did not bleed the clutch when the new one was put in. The line from the clutch goes straight down to the external trans case driver's side to the slave line in. Bleed valve is right there.
I am hoping my new 1200kg clamping JWT clutch isn't too much for the stock slave unit - because I don't know what else I would use. Because you can just unbolt it and later bolt it back on w/o doing anything to it, I wonder if it had too much fluid, thus too much pressure. I got about 14 miles, parked overnight, next morning backed out of the garage (shifted OK twice - into R and back to N).
Now it shifts just fine but the clutch is engaged (disengaged?) I can shift all over the place with the geashift but that pedal is flopped on the floor like a dead fish. Crossing my fingers new slave unit and fresh fluid, bleed it, try it out.
GREAT clutch otherwise - all I can say is "what have I been missing!" between the JWT flywheel and the clutch actually working instead of slipping all the time. The difference was dramatic in engagement.
