I just put a rebuild kit in my clutch because it was leaking. I bled it and now it feels worse than before. It is very sticky feeling and the slave cylinder is slow to return. Any help would be great! Thanks.

Fluid level? If too full it will act this way.

I didn't even know. I just took some out. Didn't change anything.

I would replace the fluid and see if that helps. What parts did your replace?

Sounds like you still have air in the line somewhere, Try backbleeding, 200 and lower require mineral oil, above 200 require DOT 4 brake fluid. Confusing these would give it a funny feel.

I will try to back bleed it. You mean like using a syringe correct? I have mineral oil in mine.

Correct! your basically forcing all the bubbles of air to the master cylinder while the cover is off.

Part #40 could be sticking. If the unit is still leaking, then you will be introducing air into the system each time you use it. Pull it apart and inspect for the reason for the leak. You cylinder may have a scratch in it or the new parts may be bad or installed in error.
