Thank you so much Rob for your feedback. I read many of your posts on this, previously to posting, so it was great in hearing from you.
You have reaffirmed my belief of starting from the beginning again, even though I had adjusted free travel of pedal and slave cylinder or I thought I did. The one I will take particular note of will be the pedal free travel. When I did this I was not comforable that it was adjusted correctly. As I had put a kit through the Master (and Slave) cylinder, I used the new seal that goes between the master and firewall. This was a really good seal and was tight on the push rod hence I wasn't sure if the free play was taken up or not.
The slave cylinder hints are very useful. I hope the clutch fork isn't bent as it would mean I wasn't thorough when I installed the gearbox.
Bleeding the system was interesting at best. I used the two person method ie: Push clutch pedal in and hold, release the bleeder to expel the fluid, tighten bleeder and then release clutch pedal. I couldn't seem to make progress using this method. The clutch wouldn't engage properly and / or seemed to have to much air in the system. The best success I had was to gravity feed the system. The 'minister for war and finance' is going to love me when I ask her to be the "pusher" again.
Thank you so much again Rob. I will report back when I have success.
Cheers Rod
