I know this has been covered extensively, and I've read a lot of threads, but I'm still not sure what to do.

I have an act 2100 that was working perfectly before my rebuild. I finally get the car put back together (8 months later) with no changes to the drivetrain and it feels as though it's slipping as soon as I hit boost. Under normal (easy) driving conditions it feels perfect. I've adjusted the pedal rod and there are no visible leaks anywhere. I haven't bled the system yet since I need someone to help out with that, but it seems unlikely that air in the system would cause slipping. (Am I totally wrong on that one?) It seems to coincidental that my clutch would go bad the minute I put the car back together.
 
air in the system wont cause the clutch to slip, but it will cause it to not disengage all the way, which in turn could cause the clutch disk to wear faster.... hope that helps...
