Clutch is installed. The lower height diaphragm cover plate with the longer throw out bearing fit very well, so the geometry problem is solved without the use of the McLeod adjustable throw-out bearing.
Transmission is also back together….I had it apart and together 9 times. After the rebuild, shifting wasn’t right, and regardless of shifter position the trans was either in 4th gear or the entire trans was locked up and would not rotate….I was just about to give up when I discovered my error- I had installed a new synchro ring behind the new input shaft and accidentally installed the ring with the larger slots. That one mistake made the trans impossible to shift correctly, and when it did shift it was either locked up tight or one-to -one (4th gear).
Synchro differences…Everything is good now. I’ll reinstall the trans tomorrow.
