3/4 master and 3/4 slave works fine on the Nissan slave-Rivergate set 
up. That is what I have.
You tried the slave adjustment, maybe the brake and clutch master rods 
were mixed up when it was rebuilt. Happens all the time.
Although each rod is the same length, they are adjusted differently. The 
master rod can be made longer or shorter by loosening the lock nut and 
turning the rod.
This may help. Again, too long a master rod will not let the fluid 
return thru the bleed back hole, too short and there is not enough 
travel to work the slave.
