Ok...My s13 is having major issues.

I swapped in my ka-t and and one week later my car would not go into gear...This is what i did

-Dropped transmission and replaced clutch with another Spec Stg 3.-New Pilot Bushing-New T/O Bearing-Resurfaced my flywheel

....Got the car back together and i could get it into gear but the car adjusted itself so much that when i first started driving it would grab right on the floor...and was soft. Not even 2 miles down the road the clutch has no play and is slipping because it grabs right at the top. This is what I do.

-Swap master cylinders,slave cylinders-Deleted dampner but my fitting was stripped so i had to cut and reflare line

While i was bleeding the clutch the fluid coming out was white as if there was cavitation stirring up the fluid. Could not get clear fluid. Bad Flare?

Still can't get car in gear after adjusting the master cyl rod. My spl line is on the way...shipping has been delayed twice!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way, i can start the car in first and it drives fine in that gear...other than the fact that when the clutch pedal is on the floor the clutch is still fully engaged. And when the pedal is out the clutch slips with 20% throttle!!!

Sorry for the long post, but im completely lost

I've had clutch problems with mine..... Master cylinder went out, then 2 months l8r I had to pump my clutch to go ion gears. Had to switch my slave. Are you sure you have all the air out fo the system??? No leaks???As for slipping: Resurface your flywheel? made sure of no oil on it?? What is your pedal adjustment??

the rod that goes into the master cylinder is adjustable.

Air is probably seeping into the system. I suspect bad flaring and air seeping in through there. I would first get the flare issue corrected first before going about switching out other parts. Once you've got the flare done and sealing, get the spl line on it and bleed thoroughly from there. Report back if you're still unable to get into gear from there.
