HELP Needed...Clutch Slave Cylinder or Pressure Plate?

I felt like a weakling after getting the slave lined up and bolted down. Key (for me) is to put white lithium grease all over the bellows as well as the tip and mental/ physical strength :-)

Initially gears 2-6 went into gear very roughly then wouldn't engage thereafter. Again, the gears shifted fine with the car off. Obviously I'm not happy with the results. Anything else I can do or check before the clutch has to be inspected?? If anyone has any insight on what is occurring since the new slave cylinder didn't fix the problem it would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

What happens if you put it in second gear, start it with clutch depressed, then let off brake with clutch still depressed (on flat ground)?

Does the car try to creep forward at all (is the clutch grabbing at all with the pedal fully depressed, in gear and running)?

Hey Particlewave, I appreciate the response.

From what I remember, yes the clutch is grabbing. I did start the car in first and second and the wheels would spin as I let off the clutch pedal. Right now the rear is on jack stands but I will try again when I get home from work. Again, thanks! If this is the case, what do you think?
