Worked with the adjustments on the clutch pedal and that did it! The problem was that the clutch was catching at the very top of the pedal. That is, I barely pressed on the pedal the clutch was disengaged. By adjusting the rubber stop (at the top of the pedal) and the plunger (that comes through the firewall) from the master cylinder, I was able to change the the feel of the clutch completely.

Thanks to everyone... ran through Datzenmike's suggestions, so I know I have clean line and no air. Still, no change. Will now look at BillM's suggestion (rod at slave cylinder) as to whether there is too much play there...

Datsun 210 5 speed with 1.4... quick history: found this car a year ago, retired man had not driven for 10 years. Went through the fuel system including gas tank. Running great now (new carburetor). Clutch does not feel right. Had Datsun like this years ago and I remember having a lot better control and feel of clutch pedal. Don't know how to describe other that I don't feel... clutch is either engaged or not... not sporty feel. Doe anyone know where I'm coming from?
