Sounds like it could have air in system or the clutch slave or master as you say, may as well replace the lot, can’t be hard or expensive on those. Gearbox out and new clutch can’t be too hard.

If the slave is inside the box leaking fluid, it will leak onto the clutch and take that with it

Centre push bearings are perfectly reliable most cars have them and there good for thousands and thousands of miles. What makes them unreliable in conversions is most definitely people using normal clutch bearings from everyday cars on heavy covers. Same reason the side push one can be unreliable hence so many saying it’s easier to change.

What ratio Master Cylinder have people used for centre clutch conversions ??.

i contacted tilton and was advised to use 6000 series centre bearing for the T5 gearbox.
