Well, actually, no I don't.

Went reasonably well. Installed cylinders, bled system to clear fluid, but it wouldn't go into gear. Lengthen rod, still wouldn't go into gear. I start contemplating ways to get the home to pull the trans when my supervisor and bleeding assistant (read wife) suggests another round of bleeding. The fluid looked clear but after that the car went into gear.

Now, the clutch doesn't engage until I let it almost all the way out. The rod is almost at the end of it's threads and there is no free play with my foot off the clutch pedal. Tomorrow is going to be cooler. I'll do some adjusting.
I keyed in on the above.

It was indeed the opposite but I was mostly concerned about not compounding the issue. I already suspected it was the ACT clutch warping when it gets hot but,... one step at a time. Sounds like you leapfrogged over all the steps and left me in the dust.
