check for leaks, perhaps the slave or master cylinder is leaking

Mostly sure the slave cylinder is leaking. Just fix it when you get tired of carrying a bottle of fluid to add every day, they aren't too expensive. Depending on how old your clutch is and how the pedal is you might wanna replace that while your at it too,

Most likely the issue is the slave or master, my guess is the slave. However in my experience it is never what you think it is.

no, the slave cylinder isn't much. i replaced mine.

the expensive part is pulling the tranny out

Did you install the clutch yourself?

well if a mechanic did it there is a whole new way of looking at this. If it isn't the master and it is something leaking that he was handling, you shouldn't have to pay a dime for the leak to be fixed.

Could be a fluid or grease on the clutch disk causing it to slip as well. If he had oil on his hands or whatever.
