I think you need to adjust the slave cylinder PIN.

I just replaced my clutch master cylinder with an aftermarket part. Found the push rod was 3/4" shorter than my original one. I should have compared the two parts before the installation. The first clue was that I had to depress the pedal a bit to get the clevis pin installed. Should have checked the part more closely.

Anyway I was lucky in that I had not thrown away the original part and it was an easy swap (although I had to R&R the new cylinder in the car) to put the old push rod in the new cylinder. Now everything's working just fine.
