The most  neglected part of the clutch system is the pedal box and the
clevis  attaching the clutch master to the pedal. I have seen those
clevis pins so  worn that they look like crankshafts. The bushings that
the clutch and  brake pedal pivot on can also wear out and is often
overlooked. Which is a  shame considering how easy it is to pull out
the pedal assembly. I know I  said this before but reiterating it for
the benefit of all. More slop up  there equal less stroke in the
master, which mean less stroke from the  slave.
