check the free play in the clutch pedal, you want no more than 1/8 inch of free play. if ya got more try bleeding it better... and if that don't work either buy an adjustable master cylinder, or do the mod. if you got no more than 1/8 free play, then i dunno what the problem is.

I think a better question is when shouldn't you bleed the clutch? A friend of mine went through this same crap and wound up towing it to a shop, all they did was bleed it. Its funny how we went from relatively low maintenance cable clutches to high *** maintenance hydraulic units.
