    If it were me I would place particular attention to the mechanical
    linkage between the clutch slave cylinder and the throw out bearing. A
    little slop here, exp multiple little slops can add up to a lot of
    clutch travel play. Most people do not lube the bronze spherical
    bearing so it and it's felt pads are often well worn. If the pins and
    colour shaft going into the bell housing are even slightly elongated,
    replace them. Same with the L shaped bell crank.

    All this can make a big difference in how far you need to press the
    clutch down to get it to release.
