Default Clutch slipping when warm.... HELP!!!

Ok here is what i have. Its a 94 civic DX 4 door i put a z6 in. It runs and drives fine at first. When it gets warm and i have about 15 miles or so on it the clutch pedal seems to engage at the top and the clutch starts slipping bad. It is a new clutch with only about 70-80 miles on it. It is a stock replacement clutch i got from a local carquest. I also Had the flywheel machined before i put it in. The only thing i can figure is my slave cylender is going bad. The slave came apart on me when i had the engine out. I put it back together and thought it would be fine. I have also bled the clutch and went as far as removing the resevoir and cleaning it. I have put new fluid in the clutch system. I dont think there is a blockage in one of the lines or the hose but i am not sure. Does anyone have any ideas? i am out of ideas and need to get this car drivable. I was thinking of getting a new slave cylender but dont want to waste money on something that it might not be. Any help would be great.

i was told by a friend who works at a trans shop to check my fluid level. he said if the resavoir is full to the top then there is no room for fluid exspansion when it heats up. he said then it will not let the slave return all the way and will cause slippage. i have not checked mine yet but will be doing it tonight and driving the car tomorow. i will post an update for you then. by the way thanks for the bump man.

is it a problem that gets worse and worse as time goes on....I had this problem and got worse and worse to the point that clutch would not engage at all. I had to redjust my clutch pedal.. Or your throw out bearing could be bad...

the best way to describe whats happening is that its building more pressure as you drive the car.

If it were the seals on the CMC or Slave, wouldnt it leak? I have no leaks around the CMC...the slave im not sure.

I'm having the exact same problem. New Clutch and New slave cylinder and I bled out all the old fluid and put new fluid in. Have bled the system several times to make sure there is no air in system.

When the car is cold its fine, but after driving it awhile the clutch slips like crazy. I barely have to touch the pedal to disengage it.

Check your firewall above the pedal set on the inside of the car. If you see a leak, it's most likely your clutch master bleeding into your interior and sucking in air - a very common problem for these cars.

Although I'm never a proponent of throwing parts at a problem, the MC/Slave replacement path will most likely remedy your problem.
