Gary----Your MC is probably OK if you are able to get 5.5 inches of
movement from the SC pushrod. That is more than enough to disengage the
clutch, if the parts inside the bellhousing are not broken or bent. I
trust that this 5.5 motion was measured with the clevis pin connected to
the pushrod and clutch operating arm. (This would rule out air in the
system, giving a spongy operation)
Do not bother to add a spacer to the SC housing bracket. This is a
hydraulic system, and will do nothing to solve the problem.
Most likely you get to pull the tranny and inspect the parts that push
the throwout bearing forward. A broken fork pin is the usual culprit. I
would take the time to add a "second pin" to the cross shaft and fork.
