Opinions please. 833 Clutch issues

340/ 4speed 833 NOT a diaphram pressure plate.

This trans is my Achilles Heel! I have had this trans in and out several times for one reason or another. It is completely rebuilt, new clutch, new pressure plate ( Hayes) from Brewers.

Everytime I mess with this trans something always changes. The problem I have now is that my clutch pedal is relatively easy ,but normal feeling, half way down. Then it firms up a bit. I have to go pretty close to the floor for it to disengage. It seems that only about the last inch is really disengaging the clutch so theres not alot of pedal action between being able to shift and not being able to. The kicker is that it is also, I think, over centering the clutch becuase I will start to feel a slight grind. This is with a tight adjust ment.
If I back the adjustment off when I go to the floor its not enough throw to disengage the clutch and shift.

The linkage is all moving correctly, but I should have a lot more clutch than just the bottom 1-2 inches

IDEAS???
