You mean slave cylinder, You could try replacing it or bleeding it. But I would still check crankshaft end play its pretty easy to do.

Maybe its just the feel of the new tranny and you arent used to it? I have had a couple dsms and no two clutches were remotely the same in feel.

if the engine rpm's fall when you push in the clutch, thats crank walk, because its pusing the crank onto the fucked up thrust bearing. and even better, you have an act 2600.. common clutch to make it go

Since the clutch places pressure on the crankshaft, many owners have reported clutch or shifting problems associated with the walking crank. Having the clutch 'stick' down on left-hand turns is often a telltale sign of crankwalk. Other symptoms include inconsistent engagement height, poor or rough engagement, difficulty shifting, ticking noises and varying pedal height or pressure. Another possibility is having the engine RPM decrease significantly when the clutch pedal is down.
