Default Air in clutch fluid

After bleeding my clutch lines ( got a fair amount of air out) I am again
losing my clutch pedal. I have a new slave cylinder in. I guess I have
driven about 3,000 miles sent I bleed the system. I have a 93 XLT. Any
ideas?

The one time I changed my clutch, pressure plate, and slave cylinder, I had
to remove the master cylinder and bench bleed it. I theorize that air is
trapped in the upper end of the master cylinder when you let the system go
completely dry and you have to reorient the master cylinder to get the air
out of it. At any rate, I did have the very same problem and found that I
had to take the master cylinder out and bench bleed it.
