Concentric slave cylinder was leaking. Installed a new clutch master cylinder, new slave cylinder, clutch and pressure plate. Pressure plate was not the self-adjusting type. Pedal is almost all the way out before it engages and there is still free play left on the pedal itself. It is slipping in 3rd, 4th and 5th if i give it any substantial amount of gas. The clutch master cylinder has no adjustment for the pedal and as stated, the pedal is almost completely out before engagement. Am i missing something here? Pulling what little hair i have left out!!

Sounds like you could still have air in the system as I agree there are no adjustments.

So, I am attaching the directions below on how to bleed the clutch but if there is no grinding and it will go in gear normally it doesn't have air in it.

However, if the clutch is not engaging then technically you have excessive pedal travel so I am attaching the info on what can cause this.

Please run through this info and let us know what you find with it, and we can go from there.

Thanks
