No. The question is: is it working over the right one inch?

Question: if you drive the car until the clutch no longer disengages enough
to allow you to shift then open the bleeder does this fix the problem (even
temporarily)? If so then I would suspect the little cup that seals off the
passage to the reservoir is not being drawn away from the end of the
cylinder when the pedal is released.
But then I know nothing about the hydraulics used in this car but seeing as
how the inspiration for the design for these cars were the LBC's I'd be
suprised if it were seriously different.
But take Randall's advice and have a look at the hydraulics. Much easier
and cheaper than anything else.
And George's advice about the hose is good even though the symptoms are
usually different.
