So a little update, I vacuum bled the clutch and still had slack. Unbolted the slave, pushed the plunger by hand (no air came out) and vacuum bled it again. Still slack.

Any ideas?

No diy on slave cylinder plunger bleed that I know of. You get under the car, unbolt the slave cylinder, let the hose get straight, and push in the plunger a couple times by hand.

I assume that is what you did. You want to let trapped air out the top, hence hose being straight. Might also be good idea to push plunger while holding slave in a couple different positions, to make sure no trapped air in some pocket in slave.

If no more air, but clutch still not working correctly (and its not mechanical slack in pedal adjustment rod), then only other thing that makes any sense is bad slave.

Yeah, I pushed the plunger a few times from different positions, and bled it when the slave was unbolted.

It's not the pedal adjustment from the pin on the master cylinder, but my friends say there's basically a way to angle the clutch down. They'll be showing me that, I just hope it doesn't result in riding the clutch.
