I apologize in advance for beating a dead horse here - I've been searching the forum/web for a few days now and am unable to find what I am looking for.
Issue/Problem - my clutch pedal feels "odd". Very short, very soft and it seems like it has a "secondary push" once you hit the 1st "bottom". I'm unsure how else to explain it...when engaging the clutch, it bottoms out easy but won't go into gear unless you give it another "thrust" and continues to sink another 1/2 inch, at which point, the gears will go in smoothly. However, you go too far (perhaps the last 1/4" to the floor) and it will not go into gear.
Current Setup - 94' C1500, LM7 5.3L and NV3500 w/external salve cylinder.
Clutch Master/Slave Cylinder - Duralast Clutch Slave Cylinder PFHK064 (this is actually my 3rd one as the pervious 2 have failed: one started leaking at the reservoir while the 2nd one just seemed to quick internally). It's an all in one system, pre bleed and just install and go. Upon further investigation, is does have a bleeder screw and we've actually tried bleeding it but it didn't help.

Here's the most recent parts list for the clutch job last weekend:
Upon taking out the old clutch/fly, it showed very little signs of wear and/or usage. The only thing we noticed that may have been a cause for concern was the throwout bearing:
Regardless of the condition of the old setup, everything new went in but my problem with the weird clutch pedal engagement was still present. Syncromesh was used to fill up the NV3500.
I'm a bit lost here but I'm essentially seeking advice on how to combat this issue - I'm open to suggestions/advice/upgrades/etc such as a Wilwood custom setup or anything of that nature. As long it properly functions, I'm all ears. Even if I have to utilize one of those aftermarket pedals they sell for hot rods.
I look forward to hearing from some of the gurus and anyone willing to help me out here - thanks again, GMT400!
