Reply to "clutch adjustment"

We just got our 1974 pantera restored and we're having some issues with the clutch setup.

When the car is cold I have no problems shifting through the gears.
I get about 3/8" of movement from the resting position (the space shown in fig. 16 from jb1490's post above) when the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
Once it's running for a bit and hot, I don't seem to get enough travel from the slave cylinder push rod. I'll lose about 1/8" of movement.
Does anyone know what the problem could be here?
