[Spridgets] More clutch

[Michael Rowe]

Yes, I have more play than I thought  it the clutch pedal, mostly from the bushing.  But more to the point, my (new) slave cylinder is not filling all the way.  There is still 1/4" of looseness in the  _rod_,  not the linkage, as though the slave spring is pulling the piston back.  It takes 1-1.5" of pedal travel just to reach the clutch plate.  I could put in a filler to lengthen the rod, but it really makes no sense to me that the cylinder will not fill, unless the slave spring is pulling it back.  Is it supposed to?  

I drove several miles this morning, then decided to bleed the clutch system yet again.  No bubbles, but now it won't work at all.
