>I've been struggling with this problem for 3 months now. The clutch
doesn't disengage when the slave yoke is attached to the middle hole on the
shaft lever. It DOES barely disengage when I move the pin to the "top"
hole. BTW, the clutch itself and all hydraulics are new. I've had several
theories about this, and they've all been shot down:
When I got my '74 Spitfire, I took the transmission, driveshaft, and clutch
from a '77 Spitfire. When I was reassembling it, I accidently put the
pressure plate from one on the clutch of another. Even though they
physically looked the same, the clutch would not engage properly until I
switched pressure plates. When I look in the catalogs, the pressure plate is
listed by the same part number for '73-'80. I have no idea what the problem
was, but it sure made a difference.
Perhaps it had worn to fit the particular clutch?
