Replaced the Slave recently there is good clutch pressure. But I have to force it into gear. When the clutch is pressed there is a slight squeal as if rubber is rubbing rubber. Before I even get it in gear the tires will spin (the car is off the ground)

I have attempted to bleed the system multiple times with no luck. Small bubbles came up once every three bleeds. It is still making a rubber on rubber noise. When I attempt to but it in gear the rear tires begin to spin. I do not have to entirely put the shifter in gear to get the tires to spin. Hard to shift it to gears 3,4,5 when car is on.

When the clutch is pressed periodically there will be what looks like evaporated brake fluid escaping from the master cylinder
