Unlike physical wear at the pedal linkage, similar wear at the slave end =
has no effect on clutch operation, the hydraulic system is designed to =
take account of all wear at the clutch end. Remember the graphite =
release bearing is going to wear down by a 1/4" or so over the life of =
the clutch, and given the unequal lengths of the release arm that is =
going to be getting on for an inch at the slave cylinder. The piston =
simply moves out to take it up, and more fluid back-fills from the =
reservoir.
If it's dragging exactly the same as before, and you have about 1/2" of =
travel of the slave push-rod, then something is binding at the clutch. =
Either the friction plate is very stiff on its splines, or the end of =
the first-motion shaft is dragging badly in the pilot bearing. Could =
also be the release bearing breaking up and not pushing evenly on the =
cover plate. Time to pull the engine - much easier than pulling both - =
on an MGB at least.

When you push in the clutch, the lever arm on the trans moves a =
