try different gear oil.

Well I just got my new motor running and new setup. On my old cheap eBay clutch I didn't have these issues. It would switch gears without grinding @ 7.5k rpms. But now with a ACT 6 puck it doesn't go in into gears under high rev. I did take the motor and tranny out, bled the clutch twice but still comes up with some air after usage. Installed new slave cylinder.
It switches into gears but takes about one 1-2 seconds to do it, rpms have a chance to drop 1k before i hit next gear, if you do it fast enough itll grind. Even with pedal fully depressed before attempting to shift. Only past 6.5k rpms, before that shifts go fairly smooth
My thoughts: bleed the clutch and realign the linkage? Am i missing anything else?
Update: Bled the clutch, drove around same amount of air. USED VAS TOOl to power bleed the brakes, then clutch again. Came home still air in clutch. Bled one more time (got all the air out) started the car then pressed brake 15 times turned it off, checked for air and sure enough still a good amount of air in clutch system. Brake master or Clutch master?

I think the issue is my clutch no fully disengaging because of the air issue, i did however install a new ACT 6 puck clutch during the build could it be faulty?

Well now replaced the master cylinder, drove done didn't really get on it first startup after bleeding clutch felt hella good, trying to get on it from second to third and it just grinds @ 7k rpm and now even brakes feel a bit mushy. Gonna go home re bleed everything again.
So far new slave, new brake master. So time for a new clutch master fml?
