Slave Cylinder Question, Help!

[offwhiteghost]

87 eta's clutch issue, while driving clutch seems to have engaged and wouldn't fully disengage. car was doing it off and on and now is engaged all the time, can switch gears fine. Did a system bleed, took out and inspected the slave cylinder, pin is naturally in advanced position and is difficult to push back in to compressed position, when pushed back it will rebound.

is this normal, does a slave cylinder hold pressure without the peddle being compressed?

The slave cylinder won't be the cause of the clutch failing to disengage unless it is leaking. In the absence of leaks at the slave or lines a failure to disengage will be air in the clutch system, a bad master cylinder, or a worn out clutch.
