Clutch issues
So went to my car the other night, put my clutch down to start my car and peddle went straight to the floor. Still started, grinded going into gear but I managed to limp it home. I pretty much figured it was my slave cylinder and being a pretty cheap part I went ahead and replaced it and it seemed to fix my problem, but now my clutch is slipping pretty bad and it never did that before. Any way I could installed the slave cylinder wrong or some kind of adjustment I don't know about causing the clutch not to disengage all the way? I'm lost here

Don't really wanna have to replace my clutch if I don't have to.

Check the free play between the slave cylinder shaft and the clutch lever. There should be a little bit of free play when the clutch is fully engaged. (Foot off the clutch pedal)
(note: the free play adjustment could be at the master cylinder where the clutch pedal attaches to the master cylinder shaft; search on youtube)
Take care,
