Peter, there are constant-contact throwout bearings that are designed to have long life with the throwout bearing adjusted to always touch the clutch release fingers. The real problem is, the Pantera clutch mechanism was designed with barely-adequate clearances in the whole system when brand-new. Wear, tiny leaks, non-stock parts or even using soft flex-hoses that expand under pressure may cause clutch-drag.
FYI, the clutch pedal position is adjustable by slightly varying the master cylinder rod length up under the dash. This is NOT a fun job!
Please look at the pic, I have removed the master cyl rod but it is mechanically impossible to adjust the rod to make the pedal any higher.
It is retained by the linkage, also with a bit too much adjustment the pedal can then attempt to PULL the rod instead of pushing it DOOOOOM sday is here.
