G50 clutch fork free play...

'88 Carrera G50, clutch pedal only returning 1/2 way, figured I'd do the easy thing first and bleed the system...nope, still not returning all the way so decided to replace the master cylinder, (easy to do). Bled the system again and...nope.
So, decided to replace the slave cylinder and while it was removed noticed the clutch fork has a small amount of free play. Is this normal or should it be tight?

Normal. You need to pressure bleed the system. Pumping rarely works.

I have pressure bled the system using a motion pressure bleeder, pedal still doesn’t return to more than 1/2 way…possibly the release bearing?

No, likely just an air bubble in the works. Keep the pedal up while bleeding.
