I would look first for a hydraulic problem between the two. If you leave
the bleed nipple open, does the pedal move ? What if you loosen the outlet
fitting at the MC ? (Aren't you glad you used DOT 5 fluif <g>)
If you slide a cheater bar over the clutch lever on the gearbox, can you
depress the clutch with it ?
