Clutch Failure - any ideas???

Bill -

After my fiasco with the brake system rebuild on my Spitfire, I hesitate to
even show my name again on the list.  However, I have to ask... is it
possible you reinstalled the slave cylinder upside down?   Is the bleed
valve properly on the top?

If not, you'll have the same troubles I had with my front brake calipers.
If they are installed in the wrong position (anything other than what would
allow the bleed valve to be on top) then you'll have a bubble of air in the
cylinder that you'll never bleed out.
