We replaced the clutch, slave cylinder, and master cylinder. It was a combo kit.

So the new slave cylinder had a plastic clip to hold the shaft of the slave cylinder in place and straight when twisting it in place?Also when you put the clutch disc in the correct way?

Yes, did all of that. We bled the slave cylinder after it wouldn't disengage. I've been going at this for 26 hrs. :(

So the clutch slave combo came as a one piece all hooked together?If so those aren't ment to bleed at all there plug and play.I have never needed to bleed one and have replaceda ton of them over the years. There is only a few reasons for the clutch not to disengage the clutch assembled incorrectly the slave cylinder installed incorrectly the clutch fork not seating correctly. Or a bad clutch master or slave cylinder is bad.
