well, I'll chime in. Finished everything in about 2 hours. When wingnut brought the car in, the clutch pedal had almost no pressure, I thought the problem was elsewhere. Flushed tranny fluid (stupid filler plug was bolted solid, couldn't move it, so I filled it through the reverse signal switch). yanked out master and slave cyliders, replaced them (used MC and slave from my 240z), replaced line, new gear oil in the differential. Put cleaned out the clutch lines, adjusted the MC rod, put it all back in, bled the line, wingnut took it around the block a couple of times, it runs like a champ!
I had a wrong diagnosis of hte problem based on the description, but it's all good now.
