Sounds like a bad slave cylinder. Did you replace the old one with a new Motorcraft?

Sounds like the seal is bad on that slave. Also, make sure the quick connect is good.

My guess would be that you are going to have to swap one in now. It would be a pity to try and get the old one to work and find that it covers your new clutch in brake fluid.
Maybe get other opinions though.
