I had a twin disk setup that was dragging and not fully disengaging over time. The two disks ended up being warped in relation to the center hub spline. This resulted in the disks wobbling and using up the gap that is present when the pedal is pushed. Everything looked fine but the issue could only be found by measuring.

Also, did you lightly grease the input shaft? I have seen improved clutch operation by applying a light amount of grease to the splines. just a light coating worked in, not enough to have it fly off and onto the disks.

When everything is working properly it is about 3/4 the way out on the pedal I would say. Maybe a touch less than that. Which it is about 98% of the time it works properly.
I had the car out today and parked on a hill, I released the emergency brake and the weight of the car went onto the drivetrain. There was no way I could get the clutch to disengage even with a few pumps. I ended up ripping it out of gear and then starting the car. This is kind of making me believe that maybe my slave cylinder is not working with enough force?
And I didn't put anything on the spines besides a little bit of dry graphite spray. I always thought there should be something a little bit slippery on those spines but everybody always advised against it.
