Off Topic: Dakota Clutch Prob

This ain't vintage Mopar, but I need help. My '94 4WD Dakota w/ V6 and AX-15 5spd is very hard to put in any syncronized gear after it's been running for a while (1/2 hour). Only when sitting still. I can tickle reverse to slow the shaft down, then it'll go in to a sycned gear. It has hydraulic linkage. I assumed that the slave or master was bad, therefore not releasing the clutch enough. There's no bleeder on the slave and there's no inspection window or any way to watch it work. I checked the factory manual. It says they must be replaced as a unit. Sure enough, Dodge sells them as a unit, pre-bled. $183 later, it still did the same thing. (I've checked and even changed the trans oil.) I tried easing the pushrod out of the slave cyl and letting it drip to bleed some. It improved verrry slightly.
Maybe I should try to drip-bleed it some more? Maybe the new one's no good? It's been too long to return it.
Any idea's? I can drive around it, But I may want to sell it soon and I don't want to let it go cheap because of this problem.
