I decided to try out a long throw slave on the clutch and yes it works just fine. I had my daughter help with the bleeding and saw that each time she pushed the pedal, the seat back was ready to snap off from so much bending. I drive with the seat up against the "firewall" so it's locked solid in place but the pedal takes one hell of a push. I am pretty sure that I can go back to the original (new too) slave and make it work correctly with less effort. Everything is new, clips, pins, etc. except the plastic line which I am replacing but I doubt if the new braided line will give me any more tiny millimetres of extra "throw". Just for "fun" I measured the throw with the plastic line and will measure again with the braided line to see if any difference which I doubt. Looks like every damn mm counts which is kind of silly on such a car.
