Default Clutch (I think?) problem

So last summer (2008) the slave cylinder in my Jeep went and it didn't end up getting replaced til this past March because I was away at school. The mechanic said if it happened again, I'd most likely need a new clutch. So I started driving it again in May, and about the end of June/beginning of July the clutch did go. So I got that fixed in about mid-August, hoping everything would be fine. Ever since it's been "fixed" though, the clutch still feels sloppy and you have to push it to the floorboards for it to do anything. Blah....

Any ideas what it could be? Should I just take it back and get him to take a look at it and see if it's something simple he might've just forgotten?

If you have had the slave replaced, then find out the process for Bleeding the system, then try that before replacing it. I would contact the mechanic and see if he would be willing to help you out, just explain what has been going on and the amount you have driven it.

The slave is on the passenger side/ tranny. You need two people, one to pump/hold down the pedal, one underneath to back off the slave feed-line.

With mine, I discovered this week-end that the throw cable had slid outside of the grove on the fork.
