If the clutch master piston is partially depressed,( from a long pedal to piston rod or adjustment issue. ) the slave won't fully release and could pump up to the point the clutch would over stroke.
If you cycle the clutch, leave the pedal up and open the bleeder, do you get a squirt of fluid or just a dribble. Is squirt, the master rod is too long / pedal free play non existent.
Slave cylinders are self adjusting, as long as the slave piston isn't bottomed out in the bore, the rod is proper length. There is a light spring in the slave that keeps the release bearing in light contact with the clutch cover release fingers.
