Default Re: Problem with clutch disengaging

I replaced the clutch assembly sometime in the last century, probably in the '80's. It worked fine for years.
The current problem would seem to be one of adjustment, where I have never been able to get full release without what I assume is constant wear on the throwout bearing.
I have recently put in an new master cylinder with an eye to small leaks in both the clutch and brake systems. It did not seem to improve the clutch drag, which of course is most notable in granny and reverse.
I use the truck so seldom now that I really don't want to pull the tranny. The release is not a problem while moving, but the TO bearing is.
I have the release rod in the middle (second) hole without a "wedge." Are either of those a possible cause?
Thanks for ideas.
