Answer
Hey,

 The only thing that will make the slave defective is if its leaking and throwing fluid or sucking air.  You could have a bad master because the rebuilt ones out there suck.
 Get a delco new unit but make damn sure that you have all the air out.  If you have a solid pedal for 24 hours and all is good with no slipping and the next day it is low that sounds like air intrusion or the clutch is worn out.  Does it slip at all?
