is it only first gear, or just worse in first. first thing to check is to bleed the slave. you could have air in the line. if you haven't removed the damper or cooler or what ever it is get rid of that.you could notice air in first and not the others because with the motor and trans spinning you don't even need the clutch. usually you will notice air and adjustment issues in first and reverse.

i have bled tons of brakes and clutches and i have never seen anything that took so long as my rb stuff. keep going
