Ok guys, I got it all apart again and guess what...NO OIL!! Holy crap I was relieved.
I know I found one of the problems. The release fork was not in quite right causing the pressure plate not to be able to release completely. It must have partially came out somehow during assembly. So that explains the slipping. But I'm not sure why the clutch felt so soft. Maybe I'm just forgetting how it felt before I started the whole project. It's been a while since I drove the car and I also drive a mazda3. Anywho. I'm picking up a new release bearing and pilot bearing just to make sure and I'll slap it all back together. Hopefully I'll be done tonight and it'll be zoom-zooming tomorrow.

Thanks for everybody's efforts (and patience...lol)
