"Does the engagement point of the pedal also go lower? That is, when
taking
off from a stop, is the pedal closer to the floor when the clutch engages?
Also, is that point really close to the floor?"
Actually the disengagement point seems to go closer to the floor (trying to
push the pedal through the floor) but the engagement point does not seem
to be closer to the floor coming back up.
"If the answer to both is "no", I would look for a warped clutch disc or a
dragging pilot bearing, or missing alignment dowels."
Alignment dowels are absolutely there. I like the warped disc theory.
Will it warp upon being overheated and then return to its original shape
when
cool? I did not replace the pressure plate or disc when I had the
motor/tranny out as they looked to be serviceable for quite some time.
I put in a "modern" rear seal and the %^&*# thing is leaking so I am going
to pull the tranny anyway. I have gotten quite good at it over the years!
Thanks
