Ray,

You likely have either air in the line not allowing the cluth to fully engage or you have an adjustment problem with the rod not being quite long enough to allow the throw out bearing to fully depress the clutch forks.. If the system has not been blead try that.. Otherwise unscrew the rod between the slave cylinder and the fork about 1/4 inch at a time until you can easily get it in and out of reverse..

Conversely, this type of thing will happen if you have a leak in either the clutch master cylinder or the slave cylinder.. It is often the first sign you are going to have a rebuild for your weekend cobra pleasure.. If you suspect it is leaking fix it sooner rather than later.. Brake fluid has a way of eating not only expensive paint but also gel coat...

Regards,
