Default clutch problems

installed new clutch and flywheel , both stock
but clutch sometimes wont ingauge fully
started slipping last night and when i popped the clutch pedal fast for a few mins
started acting right again.
the clutch line is kinda bent near the rubber hose on the tranny from the master cylinder, im thinking this could be my problem.
would this make my clutch slip?

clarify please
your talking about the clutch?
i had the clutch checked out when the tranny was out to make sure everything was done right and aligned properly
i dont know how it could be the shift linkage because it goes into all gears smoothly
just slips and i noticed that the clutch pedal got alot stiffer when it was slipping
same as with the other clutch ( when takin out, it still had plenty of meat left on it)

Sounds like it could be a problem with the hydraulic lines, yeah. You may have a problem getting all of the pressure to equalize once the pedal is released.

I agree though, I think you should fix that and then see where you stand.

You may also have sometihng like a sticking slave cylinder, but that would be rare. Usually they just leak, which would cause the opposite problem that you have. The clutch would not release properly if that was the case, and you'd lose pedal pressure.
