My next step would be to fit a pressure gauge to determine if the problem
is due to residual pressure or the clutch sticking (something I have never
encountered).

I had a similar issue with an OD that was recently rebuilt, Bruce 
Philips recommended treating it rough until the clutch would release 
normally.  By engaging it at several times at speed and accelerating it 
started releasing properly.

Hi Simon

Ah, that is just the clutch sticking because it=E2=80=99s a new one. To =
bed it in quicker, you can floor it up a hill, engage od and flick it =
back out as soon as you start to feel it go in. Do that a few times and, =
with use, it will get better.

All the best from scorching Corfu, Dave.

Not sure this is 100% relevant this time as presumably the clutch has =
