Worst case scenario is it's dropped a thrust washer on the crank but that wouldn't make any difference hot or cold. My hunch is it's the wrong clutch for that car, or you've only fitted part of the clutch. The other thing is that the release arm might be fractured causing it to flex? M.

The clutch hydraulics are unlikely to be responsible for the clutch slip unless it's dumping fluid onto the clutch itself. It may be the cause of difficulty getting 1st & Reverse. When you fitted the clutch did you fit the drive plate the correct way round? They used to be marked front but it's 36 years since I fitted a Herald clutch! Mark

Now you've gone that far, you may as well get the engine refurbished. I used Sutton Rebore to do mine. Mark

Rebuild the old one, it'll last that way. M.
