annoying clutch problem

My clutch went out about 3 months ago so I ended up replacing the slave and the master cylinder. Then it did it again about 3 weeks ago, but after I bled the slave it started working again by then I figured something else was wrong but couldnt figure it out. Now just yesterday it died on me again when I was at an autocross about 100 miles from my house and I couldnt get it working, I ended up having to used the starter motor everytime I stopped to get it going again and rev match every shift. It made getting back quite an interesting little ordeal. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

I dont think so b/c the clutch is still really strong when I have it then it just all goes out at once but I could be wrong.

well first the clutch will start making grinding noises coming out of first then randomly the clutch will just drop to the floor with absolutly no pressure. I can get pressure back from bleeding the slave for about 5 minutes and then it goes again. The master and the slave are brand new so it isnt them. And clutch pressure is perfectly strong before it goes out.

might not be the clutch but your throwout bearing. does it leak fluid from the lines?
