Well, clutch plate would only fit facing one way, flywheel, disc, and pressure plate were thoroughly cleaned, fork and pivot ball are fine....Could be linkage, but other than a little wear, I can't see how. And I'm pretty sure I matched the throw-out bearing to the old one before tossing it. Was by myself, so I think I need someone else to depress the clutch pedal while I watch from underneath with the cover off the bottom of the bell housing. I'm also worried that it could be the wrong pressure plate, but it sure looked right when I got it! Got any ideas on a good way to "manage" trans removal on this heavy, awkward (lopsided) trans??? I only have a floor jack and the trans wants to tip over. Thanks, Jim. I appreciate any and all help!
