found the problem. after two more bleeds to no avail, finally took the tunnel
off to see the slave cylinder. took the rubber cup off the cylinder and
depressed the clutch pedal as far as possible. i could see the slave piston
come back until it hit the little spring that holds it in. did a close
inspection of the pushrod and could see some elongation of the hole. welded
about an 1/8 inch on the end of the rod and smoothed it off. noticed the pedal
going closer to the floor so figured i was on right track. replaced tunnel and
seats and did a test drive. it was smooth and no problems shifting. my fault
for not replacing the push rod. will order new one and pop it in. thanks for
the help. hjim
