No offense, but this thread was confusing enough without adding anything further into the mix.
As you've now discovered, the best thing to do was to start your own thread.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 06-20-2023).]

I had written this post before, more clearly and it didn't post for whatever reason and I seem to have omitted that detail from this version. I did say the slave was bottoming out and preventing any more travel from the master and pedal.

Well, to be honest, saying the slave was "bottoming out" only confused the issue further... as IMO (and possibly, in other people's opinion), "bottoming out" indicated that the slave piston at rest was at the bottom of its travel. In other words, it was as far back in the bore as it could go. This can happen when a longer than factory slave push rod has been swapped in. However, you had the opposite problem! Your slave piston was reaching the end, or the top of its travel in the bore when the clutch pedal was being depressed, not the bottom (due to the shorter than factory push rod that had been swapped in).
Think of a shock absorber. When it's "bottoming out", it's not fully extended... it's fully compressed.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 06-19-2023).]
