'78 Spider Clutch problem, m/c & s/c...

[JeffreyOlson@domain.elided]

Clutch has been increasingly difficult to disengage 
completely, i.e. shifting into reverse or first gear 
from a standstill.

The slave cylinder was leaking a bit so I replaced it 
with the hose and YES, I did bleed it thoroughly with 
the bleed screw at the top.

The problem did not go away as I hoped.  Clutch does not 
slip at all but engages very close to the floor.  Still 
tricky to get into first or reverse without a grind.

Should I try replacing the master cylinder first(no 
leaks!) or just plan on a new clutch?

I have no idea how old the clutch is.  This difficulty 
has gradually increased over the last week.  Prior to 
that it worked great which is why I replaced the nasty 
old slave cylinder!

Found a clutch kit from Linea Rossa for $129!

Thanks!
