My experience is close to what Joe has said. Once the air is finally removed from the system, the stroke adjustment must be reset.

It also takes awhile before the clutch breaks in and 1'st gear creep with the clutch disengaged at a stop, goes away.

My southbend clutch system operated flawlessly now that it is properly adjusted and broke in. I haven't replaced the CSC yet, as the stock one is still working well with the CSC cap installed. But we both know it's just a matter of time before it fails.

Must also have resv cap off while doing this. If the air is trapped you will not get full slave travel even if the pedal feels good. Air compresses, fluid doesn't
When you say back the adjustment off, do you mean adjusting the rod to where it is flush or 1 thread inside the clevis? If so, then yes. When I cracked it open I saw nothing first and then I got some fluid drops. Resv cap was off like you suggested.

I sure hope that is the issue and that it goes away with a little more mileage.
