Dave,

First make sure that you have no leaks in the system, and no air in the
lines (bleed the system).  If that doesn't work, check the length of the
pushrod between the pedal and the clutch master cylinder.  The Bentley
manual has the exact length specified, but I can't remember it off the top
of my head.  If you need the dimension, send me a note and I'll get it for
you tomorrow.  The pushrod length is adjustable, but I can't see why it
would need adjustment if it was correct from the factory (unless someone
fiddled with it).

Sincerely,

John Hung
