I ended up spending $50 at Advance for a nicer version of the Mityvac vacuum bleeder and bled a large bottle of fluid through the system. At first it was moving fluid, but not helping the pedal feel. Then I started pumping the pedal like 30 times between each bleed and ended up with a BUNCH of air bubbles. I got bubbles 2-3 times and then just fluid. Clutch pedal is back to normal now, 100%.
So likely, I have an issue with the master, or the machine the shop uses (which uses both positive pressure and vacuum) is introducing air into the system. I more or less paid almost $3k to install a remote bleeder at this point.... I'm trying not to be mad at myself, but I definitely didn't NEED a whole new clutch...

Glad you have it upgraded and bleedable!
i have had the same slow pedal return and mityvac'ed out my fluid and added the motul high temp.
I will need to pump the heck out of it and do it again as I had one soft pedal since the change, same first hard launch of the day timing lately
