Al, I hate to say this but it sounds an awful lot like another fractured fork
pin.. Rule out all of the obvious like hydraulics and linkage and test the
system by disengaging the slave rod from the lever and move the lever fully
forward and then rearwards and see if you can feel that extra bit of rotation
after the release bearing hits its initial limit of travel fwd or rearward. If
you are going to pull the tranny anyway it may be moot.
