Default clutch/slave problem need help!

Alright so heres the back ground car is 92 sc300 5spd just put a new clutch in it about 3000 miles ago and has performed perfectly until the other day i went to take off from a light it went in 1st fine then went to hit 2nd and no go it was like the slave went out but it still had pedal pressure so i bring it to the house i replaced the slave with a new one from lexus that didnt help so i replaced the master with a new one from lexus again and i can bleed the slave and master and it will work fine the first couple of times you push in the clutch then goes right back to the way it was before i can see the slave moving what seems to be enough but i guess it isnt. im at a loss of what to do any suggestions would be wonderful

I think your slave and master cylinders are working just fine. The thing I would be concerned about is maybe the throwout bearing. It probably got unclipped from the fork. Real Soarer eh? Must be nice!

yah this sc is my daily the soarer doesnt get driven much right now.

but i dont think its the TO bearing because i can bleed it and it will go into gear fine a couple times then it goes back.. i think its just a bad air bubble that i cant get to for some reason or another

Ohhh. It is a possibility. Have you tried bleeding the line entirely and then refilling it? I think I have to do that to mine. My clutch pedal gets kind of stuck too far in sometimes. All the lines and cylinders were purchased brand new from the dealer a year ago for my auto to 5speed swap. Anyway I'll give mine a shot. If it feels good I will let you know.
