>>>In a Pantera, the pushrod is physically attached to the back of the 
master cylinder.   Moving the master forward introduces no free play; all it 
does is bring the clutch pedal lower (closer to the floor).

All clutch free play comes from the back of the car (slave cylinder pushrod 
length adjustment, lever mounting on the splined shaft etc.)
