Sounds like pressure plate issues. Is there any oil leaking like RMS problem?
Much as though I hate to say it, gearbox probably needs to come out.

Hi layback.

Funnilu enough, about a month after the clutch guys did it i noticed it leaking. I put it down to fluid changed it. At that point the biting point was non existent and in queue would jump forward like crazy bit be fine between 2nd and 5th gear. Now it's like wrestling it in to hear at best.

Sound like heat related issue . Check the master to slave hose if not to close to exaust . Also on mine there is a heat shield (like cloth)around the master unit and it goes downwards along the hose but can't remeber how far down .

When hot, if you pump the clutch peddle, does it go in ok?

If you have purchased a new complete hydraulic system that is all sealed, it should not need bleeding. Given what you have said ` you can pump it up & it works, it sounds like its a hydraulic issue. I was working under the presumption you had replaced the hydraulics with a new sealed system. When you have given it a good bleed, see how it is. You may have moist fluid in it.

Yeah it was a complete system but I've read some places suggesting it needs s good bleed even if a sealed unit
