3/4 master and 3/4 slave works fine on the Nissan slave-Rivergate set
up. That is what I have.
You tried the slave adjustment, maybe the brake and clutch master rods
were mixed up when it was rebuilt. Happens all the time.
Although each rod is the same length, they are adjusted differently. The
master rod can be made longer or shorter by loosening the lock nut and
turning the rod.
This may help. Again, too long a master rod will not let the fluid
return thru the bleed back hole, too short and there is not enough
travel to work the slave.
