Make sure the fork is properly on the pivot ball, the pivot ball is not damaged, the throw out bearing is properly engaged on the fork and the fork ends themselves haven’t bent.

What failure modes do these have?

Wish I hadn't. Got half way there and the clutch would not disengage properly. Couldn't get in or or out of gear. Nearly got squashed at a set of lights by a lorry - not a good. Whatever the problem is it is getting worse. What I did find out though was that the clutch was dragging at times when it was like this - with the peddle fully down, so the engagement point had dropped. Pumping the peddle made no difference - just seems that it randomly does not disengage, which makes me think it isn't hydraulics given the checks I have made on the free play and that I have replaced the master and slave cylinders. I'll adjust the peddle height again tomorrow, but I'm not hopeful and am stumped as to what could be causing these odd symptons.
