I have this problem.  It appeared right after the dealer installed a new
clutch, disc, and TO bearing.  I replaced the slave cyl with no change.
Bled the brakes with a pressure bleeder like the big boys, still a problem.

    Soon it will be torn apart and the following done:
    Surface flywheel
    New pressure plate, disc, TO bearing, TO yoke bushings
    Lube

Full report when it's done.......
