Depending if you have a push or pull type slave and before you adjust the rod; push or pull the rod in the slave so the piston is able to compete full travel. If it is a pull type, be sure it is fully extended. If it is a push type be sure the piston is completely bottomed out in its bore, THEN adjust the rod, this will then allow full travel of the piston. Doing this will displace fluid from the slave into the master resevour so allow room for it. If this is not done the piston may not be moving far enough to effect full release of the clutch.

For the record how much free travel are you allowing at the clutch release lever and adjusting rod?
