Many thanks for the reply Trularin

I think my travel at the cylinder is in excess of the 3/8" you mention. I would estimate (will measure later) it closer to an inch or even a little more.

I do have the rod touching the actuating forks with the clutch pedal 'at rest'. It appears then the the 5mm gap isn't a requirement then.

Extending the rod may not help me. If the rod at its present length touching the forks results in a decent shift only when the pedal is touching the floor then extending the rod would only help if a) the floor was lower(!) or b) the rod was slightly depressing the fork at rest.

This brings me to the whole pressure/volume question. I have a .875 master cylinder and a .75 slave. The pedal is certainly not light but bearable.
