Hello
i have a 1980 4x4, drove it for the last 4 yrs with no problems until the master cylinder went out (had been leaking for a while, luckily i had been practicing my clutchless shifting). replaced the MC and bled it (a lot). Now the clutch only partially engages and only at the very top of the pedal throw. i've tinkered quite a bit with the threaded adjustments at both the MC and slave side. i've got it so there is just a touch of play in the clutch fork when the pedal is released and the clutch still slips. during all my messing around, could i have broken something internal to the clutch?
thanks for any help

did you "bench blead" the master before you installed it ?

negative on the bench bleed. the pedal now feels normal, but the clutch doesn't fully grab. seems like if it was still an air in the system prob, it would be the disengagment that is the issue?

have u checked the free play in the pedal, when u replace the master sometimes u need to adjust the pedal. it might be keeping the slave pushed out a little and not releasing it all the way.
