I have same problem on my 92 9KT. I've bled system, changed master cyclinder (twice), without a solution. I changed my slave cylinder, same problem. New clutch hoses & lines, same problem. For the record, I'm an expert at bleeding, so don't blame this on "operator" error.
The car did not originally have this problem when I bought it at 150K miles, nor did an 88 9K that I had years ago.
I note that when I press the clutch pedal (slowly), the slave responds immediately. BUT, the slave has some travel BEFORE the release bearing touches the pressure plate. I also note that while bleeding the system, which requires it to be pressurized, the slave keeps the bearing in contact with the the PP, and clutch operates perfectly (with bleeder nipple closed).
In the next few weeks I'll be changing the slave (again). I suspect the replacement that is in the car now is defective. I'll post results when available.
cheers
Ed N
