Steve,
Did you solve your problem? My first thought was that it is somehow
assembled wrong. Did you do the rebuild? Could the piston be in backwards?
Are the
boot clips on correctly? Is the little cup on the spring correctly? I
replaced my cylinder with a new one from Moss before I bought my car, because
the
original one was toast, but it looks like it is fairly simple to take one apart
and reassemble it. Maybe you can check it out? I didn't notice any other
listers suggesting this possibility.
Good Luck!

Steve,
Probably because:
1. release bearing worn down too far
2. clutch plate worn down too far
3. pivot pin and/or bushing for release lever badly worn
4. someone has cut length of slave pushrod
5. clevis pin and/or pushrod hole badly worn
6. some or all of the above
