I got into my 71 Pantera with a -1 ZF a couple of Saturdays ago to back it out of the garage and wash it. With the clutch pedal fully depressed I couldn't get it into reverse. I made the assumption that the clutch master cylinder died on me since it was original. I went ahead and replaced it. With a new master cylinder in place I have the same problem. I have had my son hold the clutch pedal to the floor. The slave cylinder is coming out about 3/4 of an inch and staying out. Just a couple days before this trouble started the transmission and clutch were shifting and working fine. Any ideas? What should I look for?

This has been covered many times before. Do a search for cluth problems or clutch slave. I recently had a similar problem and the guys here helped me solve it. First thing is to check the gap between the pressure plate and the clutch disk when the pedal is depressed. Just because the slave is moving doesn't mean you have the minimum amount of play.
