Ok so first off is to explain the situation, When depressing the clutch pedal it goes down with what I would consider normal pressure but there doesn't seem to be a lot of pressure pushing it back up. I automatically bring my clutch foot back up to where the clutch would stop and sometimes the clutch pedal has a delay before slapping back up. I thought maybe I had contaminated fluid and it was fairly dirty so I re-bleed it completely. I am still having the same issue with the clutch pedal. I frequently heel-toe when dropping a gear to make a turn and with the pedal not coming back up it seems as if the clutch is not disengaging and I'm unable to rev match.
Now my observations:
I had a squeaky clutch pedal (like an old bed spring) but it does not seem squeaky anymore.
When bleeding the system I noticed that possibly the reservoir cap is not sealing tightly (I plan to purchase a new set in the near future).
I have no leaks or obvious problems at the slave cylinder nor do I have any obvious leaks at the master cylinder. I have a custom "tuck" line and it is unkinked and not leaking.
When my son was pressing the clutch pedal during bleeding I observed air bubbles traveling up through the fluid in the reservoir (not tiny bubbles but almost like tiny burps of air).
I read through the other clutch pedal problems however they all seem to have no pressure going down and the pedal sinks all the way to the floor, mine seems fine and I do not have any problem getting into gear without grinding which would indicate to me that the clutch isn't fully releasing during upshift.
I'm thinking that along with the leaky reservoir the issue lies in the CMC, possibly a bad internal seal? I'm just asking to eliminate possibilities before making an unnecessary purchase of a CMC.
