Bob, Iâ??d put my $$ on the master cylinder being bad. Is it new or rebuilt? Is 
it possible that the master has been on the shelf for years & the seals are 
dried/cracked? What kind of fluid did you use? If it is a silicone based fluid 
there may be some bubbles gettin into the master. 

Peace,
Pat

I have a  hydraulic clutch, Girling 5/8â?? master and a internal slave that 
fits over the input shaft. Both are new.  Problem is I have a really good 
feeling petal, no leaks and good operation 90% of the time but occasionally 
when you depress the clutch to change gears the petal feels soft and will not 
fully release the clutch. Letting the petal out and again depressing it and the 
feel and release are again normal. Reservoir shows no lost of fluid.  
Since the slave is mounted on the input shaft and operates directly on the 
throw out bearing there is no linkage to cause the problem.
Any suggestions as to what could be causing this problem?
