Slave Cylinder Travel?

My Camaro is starting to walk through the clutch when it is fully depressed. I am thinking the slave cyl is taking a crap, but I need to know the specs on slave cyl travel. Anyone have any idea? They clutch is fairly new, so I am thinking that should not be the problem.
Thanks

You should try to bleed the clutch as well.

mine is starting to walk too. It's getting tough to get into 1st at a stop. Its kinda strange tho. I had a leaky slave so i replaced it. Pretty easy job, just took a long time to pressure up. At first it seemed liek it was a lot better. Then it did just as it used to. Once it got warmed up it starting getting sticky gears and walking in first.

So what im wondering is, beyond bleeding the slave a few more times to make sure its got all fluid, is there any way to adjust the slave to get any more travel. Is there any adjustment of any kind on the pedal, or any wear taht occurs up there that anyone knows about? I still need to check to see what my actual travel is, but im thinking that since it did not break the retainer it isnt reaching what its suposed to.

I measured my pushrod travel today. Its 7/16 of an inch (~.44in). I just reaplced the slave cylinder. My guess is the problem is at the clutch pedal. How does all taht stuff work up there. I'm kind of a clutch newb.
