While I haven't heard it mentioned much, don't overlook the fact that the pedal pushrod into the master cylinder should be adjusted correctly. Before I changed out my slave and eventually master cylinder, my clutch didn't always feel right either. Sometimes had to double pump, reverse was sometimes a grind if I didn't stop the synchros first by putting it in second. When I finally changed the master out, and didn't get much of a change, if not a little worse, I looked at the adjustment of the pedal rod. A few turns out resulting in a longer stroke with more throw and its a whole different car now (makes me wonder if I even needed to change out the cylinders). No grinds, smooth as silk, a pleasure to drive, no more reverse problems. What a difference a few turns can make.
Probably about 1000 miles since the adjustment and still as smooth as the day I did it.
