Default Clutch Problems?

Well about 500 miles ago I replaced my clutch, preasureplate, t/o bearing, pilot bearing, and flywheel. At first the pedal feel was firmer and the clutch grabbed low towards the floor, which I liked. Now it has gotten much easier and grabs alot higher. Now under wide open throttle from about 3 grand up it feels like its slipping or missing but no codes. I'm thinking that i probably need to bleed the clutch. Am I nuts? I figured I would ask yall since i have almost no experience with hydrolic clutches.

Yeah bleed it and see if it fixes the problem, it wont hurt anything.

Just have someone sit inside the cab, and push the pedal while you open the bleeder, and make sure they dont let off until you have fully closed the bleeder. In other words dont let air get inside. Also make sure your fluid resovoir is full after your done.
