Did you spray the pedal bush area and the clevis pin ? not the best thing to get out but check the rubber on the bottom of the master cylinder before you strip it, try oil as it from memory has a nylon bush in the pedal ?? and wd40 does wear off nylon

i sprayed it over the return spring? if i can get my hand up there do you reckon put some multipurpose grease around it? the master cylinder is brand new and the set up.the only thing i am using original is the pedal box. thanks tom

It will be the bush in the clutch pedal that's run dry of grease or a tiny mouse...
