Hydraulic Clutch Question...

[Robert_A_Brady@domain.elided (Robert A Brady)]

Ever since putting my '74 gtv back together, last year, I have had some 
clutch slippage on the 3-4 upshift and 4-5 upshift, ONLY after driving the 
car for an hour or more.

Note that the clutch assy was not new (in a fit of cheapness, ahem, thrift, I 
put the old unit back in). It was the one that I used prior to tearing the 
engine/trans down, did not slip before, and the disc measured within wear 
limits.... so what could go wrong? (he naively asked himself)

I've tried playing with the piston/pedal adjustment.

This weekend, I shortened the rod length (which, on a mechanical system, 
would make the clutch pedal release lower) and it seemed like the slippage 
got worse..... which is counter-intuitive to what I'd think.

Any suggestions?  bs - what's your experience with hydraulic clutch 
adjustment?
