Okay, I adjusted the pedal as much as possible, but I am in the situation where I cannot allow any free-play, otherwise I risk grinding in 1st and reverse gear. The pedal feels great, there is absolutely no air in the line, all fresh fluid, the clutch lets out super low thats all, but the pedal feels strong.
I ensured I am not riding the clutch with any pre-load: I jiggled the pedal as I adjusted to remove all of the free-play to gain the full stroke I required. As soon as the free-play was gone I locked it down, ensuring I did not have the rod being loaded by the pedals top height. Not the end of the world. A new master cyl might improve things, but quite honestly, outside of the clutch action being immediate down at the bottom of the swing, it works great. It grabs great, doesn't slip, and I don't even need any assistance with the gas to get going in 1st gear.
I don't think I am going to bother with it. I just need to re-learn my driving!
Unless any of the above sounds very wrong to anyone, I am pretty confident it is working well.
