After owning one or other Frogeye since I was 18 (now over 50), I have never
had the problem I am experiencing before.
The master cylinder has been re-sleeved to .75" in both brake and clutch.
Brakes are perfect but the clutch will only release after the third or
fourth press of the pedal. The gearbox is a Datsun 5 speed and the slave
cylinder is .875"
When the pedal is pressed, a lot of fluid seems to come out of the small
hole in the master cylinder until at least 30% of the pedal stroke has been
used.
Am I missing something or just plain stupid?

ps Does anyone have a diagram as to what happens to the fluid when the
piston is pushed forward and back
