Clutch Slave Cyclinder

[ZR1FUN]

My Z has been down for severl months waiting for my new garage to get in working shape. I blew the clutch slave doing a power shift. I was able to get in 2nd and limp home since I was only a couple of miles away. To move it around at home I pumped it about 50 times and was not grinding gears.

Subsequently I bought a new slave, my grandson and I installed it, bleed it and as we finished getting the bubbles out it locked up. I could not depress the clutch pedal to the floor. Thought maybe we did something wrong, pulled it put it back, same issue, replaced it with the old slave which I took apart and cleaned (full of gunk), same issue. I get about two thirds of the pedal depression and then it is not going any further.

What simiple step are we missing? Is the clutch master cyclinder blown and impacting the slave? I have a new clutch master sysclinder and was going to replace it as well but do not want to start it until I have the slave working correctly unless it is or could be the problem.
