Yesterday, I went thru the linkage while some body else was pressing the pedal and looks that it's ok, so I removed the transmission to inspect the diaphragm spring and found that two fingers are bent a little bit toward the engine and there is no space between them. Do you think that could be the problem? Refer to the link below to see a picture. Please advise.

Thanks
