Ed,
Do you by any chance use a clutch fork return spring?
If you do, it can cause this problem.
The clutch cover spring itself is sufficient to return the TO fork
and the slave to a position that wont wear out the TO bearing.
Common sense suggests the need for a return spring, but adding
one causes the slave to require much more fluid before the
clutch disengages becuase the slave returns well past the
disengaged position.

Hi Guys
My clutch will not disengage unless the clutch pedal is all the way to the
floor.( the push rod is in the rear hole of the clutch arm) I have
replaced the master cylinder same problem. I moved the slave cylinder 1/2
inch to the rear by adding washers . It still won't disengage until the
pedal is on the floor. The clutch system has been bled many times and there
are no leaks. Why is there no difference when I move the slave rearward? Ed
