re: " would it be a master cylinder problem?"
Possibly your clutch flex line has collapsed internally, keeping pressure on
the slave.

Subject: [Healeys] clutch problem
i think i have discovered the source of my clutch problem. after putting the
new release bearing in and hooking up the slave cylinder, i discovered that the
slave cylinder rod extended out to put pressure on the bearing. it is always
pressing against the pressure plate ring. i do not think this is the way it is
supposed to be. would it be a master cylinder problem? both were new when i
rebuilt the car. i have temporarily relieved the pressure on the plate with a
small spring, but the clutch pedal goes down about 2 inches before engaging
when it has sat for a while. any ideas. hjim
