Hello All. Lately it has occurred to me that I need to push the clutch pedal much closer to the floor to disengage it. Conversely, it seems like now it barely leaves the floor before engaging. I have bled the clutch (and brake) line after replacing the hydraulic fluid. There are no obvious leaks in the line anywhere (nor is there a need to top up the fluid reservoir). I believe the "play" in the clutch can be adjusted, but it seems like the clutch master cylinder is just a little harder to get at than world peace. Does anyone have a good/bad tale to tell me regarding this type of adjustment? If either the master or slave cylinder requires rebuilding, is there a way to make that determination before the fact?
