  What if the fluid, or sludge as tim calls it, is so thick it doesn't
easily flow back out of the slave when the pedal is realeased?  That would
cause the clutch to slip.

Tim,

Nope, the clutch fluid doesn't get into the clutch itself. Any slippage 
will normally be because the clutch is worn out, or much less often, the 
clutch master cylinder pedal rod is not allowing the vent hole in the 
master cylinder to open.

Peace,
Pat
