5 speed clutch problems

Greetings
Earlier this year I had my 5 speed rebuilt and since then have been having 
clutch release problems.   I have the Rivergate conversion and didn't have 
any problems at all when I first installed it.  So far I have rebuilt both 
the master and slave, welded a travel adjustment bolt to the release pedal 
and I still have phantom problems.  Sometimes it works perfectly.  Other 
times, often in the same outing, it doesn't release properly.  Its always 
more noticeable downshifting.  Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dave

p.s.  I also had a pair of  HIF4 1.5" SUs put on the little beast this 
spring.  The result was an incredible power increase compared to the stock 
1.25".  I had to get a tear drop shaped bubble beat into the hood to 
accommodate the front carb and air filter.  The hood is at the body shop 
now getting painted.  I'll post some pictures when its done.
