Briefly: my clutch is not disengaging.
I've checked the slave cylinder, and there is movement of the lever.
Question: could the slave still be the problem; could there still be air in the clutch hydraulic system? Or does movement of the slave cylinder rule both of these out?

I had the same problem in public and that was very embarrassing as the chicks where admiring the car at first but when they realized I was not able to shift gear they started to giggle
Anyway I changed both the master and slave cylinder as I had my doubts about them . Also did a small modification on the lever so that the clutch disengage without have to press all the way down. But all of that did not help at first cos whenever I press on the clutch the paddle will slowly return back to its normal position which means there is air in the system .
Is this happening with your car ?
I bled the system many times and after a while the same problem will happen again
To cut a long story short there was a small cut on the Slave hydraulic hose and that was causing all the problems
So changing the master and salve cylinder was not necessary I guess It was a very expensive troubleshooting lesson for me
I hope this info will help you
