The normal items to check as others have pointed out are that the hydraulics
work correctly, Correct length push rod at the slave, the release bearing is
the correct one and not worn and that clutch disc slides easily over the input
shaft splines. If the problem is not there be aware that there were a bunch of
clutch discs that were made a little too thick. They have the correct
thickness of friction material but the spring (wave) plate sandwiched in
between them is too wavy. This causes the disc to drag when the pedal is fully
depressed (hard to get into first gear) and if you put the gearbox in second
and hold the clutch pedal down while revving the engine you will start to
smell the aroma of "slipping clutch." Probably not your problem but, as a
wise man once said, you never know what it was until you find out....
