Default clutch issues need some input !

ok So i rebuilt my engine last year, and installed a spec stg street clutch and ekpt stock flywheel(stupid). I have never had a good clutch pedal since that day, I replaced the slave... no luck still weak, i replaced the master, no change, the clutch would grab at the very top of the pedal and the pedal wouldnt come all the way up! I also adjusted the pedal which did nothing for me at all except give me a lot less extra pedal but it was basically on the floor.


I drove it for a while until recently my OEm flywheel broke and I replaced it with a JWT flywheel and i got a replacement spec disc jsut bacause i remember burning it a few times. also new OEM throwout bearing, and a steel braided clutch line. I bleed it yesterday and drove it... at first it was a weak pedal but grabbing at mid point. Still very disapointed. Then i drove it about 5 miles nice and easy hit the car wash and on the way home it got very soft and i bearly had a clutch! so i put it up on ramps rebleed the system and Now its back to beaing at the very tip top of the pedal.. I mean i could rest my foot to hard and it would do the job. and the rest of the pedal does nothing at all. and i went to drive it today and when i hit 3rd gear and wnet over 3000rpms it started to slip.. otherwise drives fine if i dont give it to much gas. Im stuck and really need help here. I wanna sell my car and I cant like this.

thanks for reading my book lol but really any help would be so great! anything im leaving out just ask.

alex.

91180sr,
you may want to have a look into this as it will definitely help with the clutch engaging right at the very top and nothing for the rest of the travel.
