If you overheated it and glazed it over it will slip until the glazing is burned off.... temporary cause of clutch failure.
If it slips consistently with full fluid your going to need a clutch.

So now its good again...I really don't think its a bad clutch now that it keeps getting good. So Where exactly is the bleeder valve for the slave cylinder...anyone have a picture?

The bleeder valve is just above the bolt that holds it to the transmission and just behind the clutch line.

So...I've had clutch slipping for about 2-3 months now. I would give about1/3 throttle and anything after that would be too much torque and the clutch would slip. Recently it slipped really bad, to the point where there was some smoke and you totally smelled it.
So last night I was climbing a long hill and I gave a little more and the turbo was spooling and I gave a little more gas and it didn't slip.....I was like huh?? So I gave more and it just grabbed and pulled. Totally shocked me, and so a little bit ago I was cruising 45mph in third and then mashed the gas and before I knew it I was up to 70mph and there was no slippage. NOTHING!
Explain to me......what the heck is going on? I hope it stays good like this so I don't have to replace it. Could it have been a bubble in the hydraulic line of the clutch or something? Or did the little slipping of the clutch here and there "grind down" the glazed flywheel enough to get some decent contact?

The issue ended up being the seal on the output shaft. It failed, gear oil leaked in and was soaking the clutch. When I pulled the belhousing away from the motor there was a "waterfall" of oil. I am shocked that I was able to drive for so long with all that oil on the clutch / flywheel.
The clutch and flywheel did need to be replaced though because of this.
