Subject:      Clutch Play
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

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?

TIA
